Rob’s Festival

Rob’s Festival was an annual Beaumont community sports and music event that ran between 2010 and 2023. It was a tribute to a former student, Rob Williams, who died in a snowboarding accident.

It was started by some of his friends and has grown into a successful whole school event which  raised over £50,000 for the Prince’s Trust and the school. The unique aspect of this event was that it was organised almost entirely by our Year 12 students along with the Beaumont School Association (BSA). Its main aim was to raise as much money as possible for the school and the Prince’s Trust, while bringing the Beaumont community together to enjoy music and sport which were two of Rob’s passions.

A key feature of the festival was performances by local bands, including many home-grown acts from the school. It was a family-friendly event which also featured football tournaments, a bouncy castle, stalls, games, face-painting and House stalls and a raffle. There was a wide range refreshments on offer, including a barbecue and fully licensed bar.
