Eccleshall Festival

25/01/2024

Due to challenges with dates and capacity, the Eccleshall Festival will sadly not be going ahead. This is not for want of trying however the new committee have been trying hard to pull together an event normally 2 years in the making in fewer than 6 months. This has required some compromises, some of which can’t be accommodated.

It is therefore with great regret, that the new committee has taken the decision to not to move forward. Conversations are happening to see if an alternative group can take the Festival on from 2026, however currently there is no capacity/solution for this to happen.

Whilst this is an outcome many will be upset about, the fact is that many hands make light work but few have been forthcoming to keep the Festival going. If your view is that you feel you could take charge, now is the time to stand up.
