Finalists to be announced soon…

Join us for the GRAB FINAL 2025! GRAB is the Ribble Valley’s flagship talent competition. The Grand partners four local high schools (CRGS, Ribblesdale, St Augustines and Bowland) to create the ‘Britain’s Got Talent style’ competition where acts perform to win the vote of the audience and the judges. GRAB is about Supporting Talent, Supporting Community and Supporting Charity.

Sixteen pupils from across the four schools come together to make up the GRAB Forum Team to organise the three events, which comprise of two semi-finals and the final. Pupils gain a unique experience as they work alongside industry professionals in marketing, technical, operations and hosting from the stage to create this magical competition.

The events raise awareness and raise money for two charities which are chosen by the forum.

Participants of the competition have the fantastic opportunity of performing on The Grand’s stage, accompanied by lights, smoke and special effects created by the technical team.

The GRAB project is now run every two years. Some of our former well known finalists include: Grace Davies, Ella Shaw, Karen Wilkinson and Jasper Cherry.
