Speaking about the annual festival, Charlotte, who competed as a singer every year up until she finished school and is now back after a gap of 12 years, said "Alderley Edge Festival provides a brilliant opportunity for every competitor to challenge themselves to the best of their ability. It has given me confidence in communication and expression, and the praise of experienced adjudicators makes all the effort worthwhile. It's a really fulfilling experience."
