             FEATS 

Festival of European Anglophone Theatrical Societies

The festival, of which BATS is a founding member, has been running since 1976. It was first performed in The Hague and is open to all European amateur theatrical societies and drama groups who stage productions in English. As the UK has many of its own amateur festivals UK societies are excluded from FEATS, but the winner of FEATS may be eligible to participate in the British All Winners Festival if the standard is considered high enough.

FEATS is a competition and a professional adjudicator asseses all performances before awarding prizes for winners in a number of categories including production, acting, stage presentation, stage management and original script. For more information about FEATS please visit their website by clicking here. Details of FEATS awards won by BATS can be found in our archives section.


Congratulations to the cast and crew of "Oh my God!' who performed at FEATS 2010 in Bad Homburg, Germany!

   - Best original script
   - Adjudicator's Discretionary Award: Erik Tytgadt & Tom De Beckker
