The programme for the 2021 Beeston Festival has been published with full details of everything you can expect to find on Saturday 18 September.

You can find who is performing at each of our three stages; what we are doing to be planet-friendly; and there’s a handy site map to help you find your way around Cross Flatts Park.

We have also included some details of how we plan to keep you all Covid safe. You will find QR codes at every entrance so that you can check in on the NHS app; there are extra hand washing stations on site and plenty of hand sanitiser. Remember, if you have any Covid symptoms, please dont come to the festival, but do get a test.

Programmes will be distributed to schools and Libraries on Monday 13 September and be available to pick up on the day from the Information tent.

The 2021 Beeston Festival will take place on Saturday 18th September in Cross Flatts Park and we are now taking stall bookings.

The Bazaar is always a vibrant part of the festival site, with up to 100 stalls spread out along the paths at the top of the park. Once again we will be grouping the food stalls in a central Food Court.

Bookings are now closed for this year’s festival

After our enforced absence last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Beeston Festival will be back this year.

The Committee decided to move the Festival from its usual date in June in case health restrictions had not been lifted in time. So this year, the Festival will take place on Saturday 18th September.

As usual the fun will take place in Cross Flatts Park starting at 12pm and will feature:

• Live music
• Dance
• Children’s activities
• Bazaar
• Food Court
• Fun Fair
• Sports
• Live animal displays

We will be announcing more details over the coming months.

Chair of the Beeston festival Committee, Cllr Angela Gabriel said:

It will be wonderful that we can get back to something like normal. We are really looking forward to hosting this wonderful event and plans are already underway to make it bigger and better than ever.”

Unfortunately, due to the current situation with COVID-19 Beeston Festival 2020 has been cancelled.

We will be back next year on  26 June 2021 for another great festival.

Stallholders who have already booked will be contacted shortly to issue refunds.
