Description:

This year's Festival is on Saturday 19th September, 12-5pm, followed by the evening concert and fireworks. Stalls cost £30 and there is a table hire option if you need a table, but gazebos are not provided (outside on grass). We accept a wide range of stalls from craft stalls, to market based stalls etc. Basically anything apart from bars.

Stalls are for the day event 12-5pm (10am set up). We have space for 50 pitches and they are starting to book fast. You can see the highlights of 2019's on Fleckney Festival's YouTube channel. Last year in just our third annual we had 2,700 people attend during the day.  

What is Fleckney Festival?  Fleckney Festival is Fleckney's main annual event of the year which is a free entry community event. We have a weeks worth of events leading up to the main event getting all ages and backgrounds socially involved. The main event is about bringing the village and community together to celebrate all the hard work over the course of the year, and to recognise our groups/people and promote them. We also fundraise for the community and have helped support many projects, including setting up a youth cricket team and raising funds for the upkeep of our community library.

At the main event there is fairground rides, over 40 stalls, archery, land train, helicopter flights, entertainment, war re-enacters, dinosaurs, movie themed area, food and lots more! Then in the evening there is a concert with local groups and performers to promote our local talent which is then followed by fireworks. We had a brilliant year in 2019 which was only our third annual. We attracted over 3,000 people who came from all over the county and raised just over £2,500 for the community.

Preparations are now in full swing for 2020 as we plan our biggest ever year, with the theme of ‘The Battle of Britain’ to mark the 80th anniversary which falls in the Festival week.
