The 2022 Beeston Festival will take place on Saturday 25th June 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.
If you or your organisation would like a stall make sure you place your booking in good time. We have a sliding scale of charges depending what type of organisation ytou are and what you are selling.
Your booking is for a 3m x 3m pitch in the Bazaar towards the top of the park. You can book chairs and tables through the festival at an additional charge, or you can bring tour own. We are NOT able to supply gazebos.
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.

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.”
To celebrate the 25th year of the festival, and the togetherness that it represents, there will be a BIG SING at the Festival this year.
What’s a Big Sing, you ask?
It’s where everyone can come together with a common aim; to sing a well-known song!
The festival has been working with local primary schools and community groups to teach the song, but we’d like you to join in with them!
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never sung, you’re a popstar in front of your bedroom mirror, or you sing regularly in a choir.
Join us at 2:50pm near the main stage to be a part of something special!
We’re going to sing Lean On Me by Bill Withers. Here are the words:
LEAN ON ME
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there’s always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won’t let show
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem
that you’ll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me, when you’re not strong
And I’ll be your friend
I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need
Somebody to lean on
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you’ll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can’t carry
I’m right up the road
I’ll share your load
