"from the Solfest team"
21 October 2013
Following the huge success of our 10th Solfest, we've now held our Annual General Meeting and have elected a team to take up the Solfest baton and carry it forward into the future.
We have taken the decision not to hold a Solfest festival in the summer of 2014. This allows us a much needed break after ten long years, and also gives us the chance to concentrate our efforts on Solfest 2015.
When we return, we intend to remain one of the most loved and best valued family friendly festivals in the country.
We would like to thank all our supporters for their hard work and commitment over the last ten years.
We are as committed as ever to the Solfest ethos and our passion for getting it right and creating the type of festival which you all deserve.
We look forward to seeing each and every one of you back in our usual spot between the 28th and 30th of August 2015. We’ll keep the grass warm for you!

As parents ourselves, we understand what it's like to experience pester-power or to feel obliged to make a 'voluntary donation' so all of the activities in the Kids Arena are completely free! »

Here's Neil Bailey, our first competition winner!
Neil's name was drawn at random from all adult ticket purchases up to the 6th July, winning himself and a friend a drink each at the bar, some festival food and a couple of exclusive Solfest 2013 T Shirts.
There are two more draws to go and the next is this Saturday, so buy your tickets now to be in with a chance of winning!

After a mammoth amount of discussion, we've decided that it would be unfair to make a specific theme for fancy dress. We do however want to see more of the group efforts from previous years. We've seen a large group of where's wally's a pack of gnomes, a whole farmyard of animals and a collection of superheroes to name a few. Lets use the power of social media and get the ball rolling, we'd love to see you all working together on a collaborative effort.
