Eisteddfod
The annual Eisteddfod celebrates creativity across the curriculum.
This event is made up of a variety of events such as Art, Food, Photography, Creative Writing and Flower Arranging. The final events of Dance, Drama, Music and Spoken Word take place over two performance evenings, which is a Fairfax firm favourite!

Fairfax Academy’s annual Eisteddfod has been a hotly-contested fixture on the school calendar for decades.
Each year the school’s four houses of Coventry, Kenilworth, Stratford and Warwick compete in the week-long arts festival, which includes all kinds of disciplines from music and dance to art and poetry.
Two packed shows at Fairfax treat audiences to a huge variety of entertainment, from ambitious dance routines, to instrumentals and spoken word performances.
It was way back in 1961 that Fairfax held it’s first Eisteddfod – a two-day competition based on the traditional Welsh festivals that celebrate art, literature, music and performance.
More than 50 years later, Fairfax students care passionately about the annual contest, which is the biggest date on the school’s calendar and the highpoint of the inter-house competition.
