Marlborough School of Languages to Hold Second Fiesta

It’s always nice to hear when an inaugural local event is successful, especially one as unique and original as Marlborough School of Languages’ annual Fiesta. Triple so when being bilingual to me means I can switch between English and gibberish!

Marlborough School of Languages offers a range of services to suit language development at any age and stage, in small groups or one-to-one at their school on Marlborough High Street, and online. With regular Spanish, English, French and Italian lessons, bespoke workshops, exciting conversation, film, food and book clubs and sociable cultural drinks evenings, last year founder Maria Gonzalez decided to create their first language summer festival; conveniently the school abbreviates to SOL, the personification of the Sun in ancient Rome!

 “We are beyond excited to be launching the second edition of our Languages’ Summer School: Fiesta 2026,” Maria explained. “Last year we wanted to end the summer term with a special event that would inspire our students to continue their learning journey with us in September, and create something appealing for potential new learners.”

“Despite the heatwave, we delivered 15 hours of Spanish, Italian and EFL lessons, served five wonderful meals at La Bobina, The Marlborough Pub and at our High Street premises, and organised five afternoon activities, including Chinese calligraphy and a wine tasting led by some of the area’s most talented professionals from Thames Valley Wines.”

This year’s Marlborough School of Languages Fiesta will take place on the 6th to 10th of July. Building on last year’s success, Fiesta 2026 promises another vibrant celebration of language, culture and community.

Guests can look forward to a programme of engaging Spanish, Italian and EFL sessions in the morning, delicious meals shared in great company, at the best Marlborough High Street eateries, and a selection of inspiring afternoon activities led by talented local professionals.

Above all, Fiesta is designed to bring people together in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where learning, conversation and cultural discovery go hand in hand.

Tutors in both Italian, Claudia Marin and Spanish, Maria Gonzalez along with English as a foreign language tutor Matt Gow, will take classes from 9:00 am to 12 pm, followed by lunch, and workshops in the afternoon. Some details still need confirming at this stage, but they anticipate the paella making workshops will be back, and there will be a theatre workshop where the three language groups will each prepare and perform the same short play in their respective languages.
