The Milton Keynes Festival committee is heartbroken to hear of the passing of Nuala Buckley at just 19 years old.

Nuala danced at our festival for many years with Leanne Hughes Theatre School. We had the privilege of watching her grow as a performer, and she became a familiar and much-loved part of our festival.

A festival is made special by the young people who return year after year, sharing their hard work and their love of dance with us. Nuala was one of those young people. We will remember her with great affection, and we will miss seeing her on our stage.

Our deepest love and condolences go to Emma, Gerry, Keeva and all Nuala’s family, her friends, and everyone at LHTS. We are holding you all in our thoughts. 💜

Well done Bonnie and well deserved!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at our last weekend.

Please make sure any outstanding trophies are returned by Saturday!
