About Marshfest

From Dream to Reality

Back in 2018…

…we were a group of village dads (and one mum) with a dream.

We wanted to bring the community together for a day, to celebrate some of our excellent local bands, fantastic food and drink, and party in the way only Marshfield can. All proceeds would go to local charities.

Meticulous planning followed, mostly over ales in the local, and, with a lot of support from brilliant bands, businesses and an army of willing volunteers, we made it happen. MarshFest first rocked in September 2018.

Onwards…

Our first MarshFest was a huge success and MarshFest 2019 was even bigger and better. We were back, post-pandemic, in 2021 with a re-worked experience: MarshFest Recut, and with another full MarshFest in 2022.

In 2024 the festival stepped up a level again, culminating in a 1,300 attendance figure, and over £16,000 raised for our charities. So far, as well as making amazing memories, we’ve raised over £43,000 for good causes in total.

And Now…

…on to the biggest, best, most innovative MarshFest yet. We’ve got new entertainment, local food, a full line up of sponsors, and for the first year, 2 professional stages working back-to-back to keep the music rolling – Bring it on.

Thank you for your support and roll on MarshFest!

Guy, James, Jess, Justin, Hugh and Nige.

Marshfest conitnues to grow, but at its heart is always the community and our charities…

Our Causes

We’re proud to have raised over £43,000 for good causes through MarshFest.

Warmley Park School

…is just down the road from Marshfield. Warmley Park is for children aged 3-19 with severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple difficulties, and those on the Autistic Spectrum. The school relies on donations and every penny helps.

Marshfield Primary School

Marshfield’s local primary school. Its PTA provides important funds for the school and the pandemic has allowed very limited opportunities for fundraising. The PTA also provides us with the majority of MarshFest’s volunteers who are vital to help the festival run.

Marshfield Cricket Club

A true community club, as well as men’s and women’s teams Marshfield runs a successful youth programme, entirely staffed by volunteers. With 200 children currently registered, including 90 girls, the Club aims to inspire children to enjoy cricket from a young age. It’s currently raising money for a new pavilion.
