Strictly speaking the Triennial Festival as a permanent institution was not established till 1784, but the two earlier festivals belong by right of parentage to the series which followed. There was no festival in 1793, partly owing to the destruction by fire of the Theatre Royal (where the evening concerts were held). The festival due to be held in 1833 was postponed to 1834 for the completion of the Town Hall. The Triennial festivals were discontinued after 1912.
