Please donate to help secure the festival’s future.

Our beautiful town is an ideal location for an event of this kind, with one long ‘main’ street (closed to traffic) which hosts on-street entertainment, busking, incredible food stalls, bars and more.
Each music venue is within easy reach of the main street, making this event not only Europe’s ultimate contemporary blues festival, but also a one-of-a-kind and much-loved festival for people of the local area.

An estimated ​20​,000 – 25​,000 people attended each of the 2017, 2018 & 2019’s festivals; with the event receiving a HUGE amount of love. After a break due to the COVID pandemic, the festival returned in style in 2022 with approximately 35,000 people attending over the festival weekend.

Pause for a moment to consider… what could happen if each person who attended the event donated £2 (or more) to the festival fund?

Please consider donating to support our town’s wonderful Blues Festival, which was voted the
‘UKs Blues Based Festival of the Year’, for the 2019 event.

Thank you.
