Our Spring Contest is moving to a new venue and date in 2020!
The new date – 8th March – gives bands an ideal opportunity to run their set test pieces out ahead of the Regional qualifying contest, and our section structure and relaxed registration rules open the contest up to Ungraded and Youth bands too.
The new venue – the Attenborough Centre – is a purpose-built performing arts facility on the University of Sussex campus, close to the seaside town of Brighton and beautiful parkland. More info can be found on the ACCA Website
Watch the contesting page of this website and follow #scabaSpring20 for updates and entry forms which will be published in December.
