✨ Loddfest – Looking Ahead to 2026! ✨

What a fantastic day Loddfest 2025 turned out to be – the Glebe Field was full of people enjoying the warm weather, live entertainment, food, drink, children’s activities and so much more. It was wonderful to see our village come together and to welcome so many visitors from the surrounding areas.

A huge thank you goes to everyone who helped – from planning and setting up, to packing away afterwards – we couldn’t have done it without you!

Now our eyes are on next year’s Loddfest, taking place on Saturday 20 June 2026. We’d love to build on this year’s success and make it even better. Loddfest is planned by a small band of volunteers, and we’d really appreciate more people getting involved – whether it’s with planning, helping on the day, or supporting in other ways.

👉 If you’d like to find out more or get involved, please come along to our meeting tomorrow, Wednesday 3rd September at 7.30pm at 77 Harrington Road. Everyone is welcome – the more the merrier!

Let’s make Loddfest 2026 another brilliant community event which raises funds for St Leonards Church! 🎉

We’re absolutely thrilled to share that Loddfest 2025 raised over £3,530 in profit for St Leonard’s Church, Loddington! 🙌💷

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who came along, supported, sponsored, volunteered, sang, danced, served, baked, and helped in any way – we couldn’t have done it without you. It was a brilliant day filled with fantastic music, smiling faces, and real community spirit.

🙏 To our amazing sponsors and tireless volunteers – your generosity and hard work behind the scenes is what makes this event so special.

💬We’d love to hear what you thought! 💬
Please share your favourite moments, and if you have ideas for Loddfest 2026, we’re all ears 🎶

👉 Can you help us?
Our core planning team is now just four people, and we desperately need more helping hands to keep Loddfest alive and thriving. It’s fun, it’s rewarding, and your input can make a real difference.

We meet once a quarter to share ideas and agree actions – it’s a great way to get involved with the village and help put on something truly special.

📅 Our next planning meeting is on 3rd September – please consider joining us. Whether you're full of ideas, great with logistics, or just want to lend a hand, we’d love to welcome you.
