ℹ️ Festival News & Safety Upgrades

For 12 incredible summers, we’ve loved hosting this festival for our town. As the event has grown, we are moving to a managed ticketing system for 2026 to ensure the festival remains safe, high-quality, and sustainable for the future.

• Comfort & Crowd Control: Following record attendance last year, managing capacities ensures a comfortable, secure, and relaxed environment for everyone.
• Perfect Stock Management: Knowing our numbers in advance helps us ensure the taps never run dry!
• Protecting the Music: We invest heavily in our professional stage and live music lineup, funded entirely by bar sales. To safeguard this investment and the future of the festival, no outside alcohol or glass is permitted on-site, and bag checks will be in operation. Thank you for supporting our local artists!
