Worstead Festival has been a long-held tradition in the village since it was launched in the 1960s to save the village church. Since then it has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for local charities, including enough to build the village hall.
Now, 40-odd years on the village is keen to bring the festival into the 21st century but take it back to its roots, focusing on the land, the community and the village’s history.
Well-loved attractions such as the local weavers’ group, the heavy horses and traditional farming machinery will be featured alongside new ventures including a food theatre to give local chefs the chance to demonstrate their talents. Music has always been an important part of the weekend’s celebrations and the main stage to showcase bands will remain, alongside other performance areas and a chance for you, the public, to have a go at some proper rural competitions - you know, chucking wellies and hay bales about and the like.
There will also be a strong focus on children, with crafts, fun events and interactive entertainment throughout the weekend. We'd love you to come along, see what the new festival has to offer and enjoy a weekend of fun, rural sport, some ale and a chance to sample the delights of some rather lovely crafts.
The Worstead Festival is a charity that raises money for the benefit of Worstead and surrounding area.
