Marshfest Recut

We’re proud to have raised over £5,000 for good causes through MarshFest.

This year is no exception – buy a ticket for MarshFest Recut and you’ll be raising funds for the following:

Warmley Park School and College 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 C of E V C Primary School is Marshfield’s local primary. 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.

MarshFest promises fun for all the family. Here’s a flavour of what’s on offer this year – we’re adding to the list all the time:

Lolly Lollipop

We are so delighted to welcome Lolly Lollipop to MarshFest Recut! A team of brilliant children’s entertainers, they’ll keep the kids (and grown ups) happy!

What are the timings for the Day?

We’re opening the gates at 3pm, kicking off the music at 3:30pm, and aiming to wrap up around 10pm (encores allowing). Keep an eye on social media and this site for more information.

What happens if MarshFest is forced to cancel?

While we remain optimistic that our event plans can be adapted to produce a safe and Covid compliant festival, if MarshFest Recut is forced to cancel due to Covid-19, please rest assured you will have the option to either rollover your tickets to 2022’s festival or request a refund. We hope that this gives you confidence in booking a ticket.

Can I buy tickets on the day?

It would really help us if you can buy tickets in advance – the more we sell, the better we can make MarshFest Recut! If you do leave it until the day please be aware tickets are more expensive on the door.

Will there be event security?

Yes, we’ll have security in the evening as usual.

Can I bring my own alcohol?

No thanks! In the spirit (excuse the pun) of MarshFest all food and drink sales help us to raise money. So please come and eat, drink and be merry!

What happens if it rains?

A bit of rain doesn’t faze us! Seriously, we will have some cover but we are an outdoor festival, so if it’s looking like rain make like Glastonbury revellers and dig out the wellies.

Is MarshFest a child-friendly festival?

Have you seen the hay bales?! Yes, it’s a fully family-friendly festival. Here’s the entertainment.

Can I bring my dog to MarshFest Recut?

No thank you – it’s not a dog-friendly event so leave Fido at home where he can enjoy a bit more peace and quiet.

Our army of volunteers

Marshfest is not a profit organisation- every last penny of money earned goes back to our charities, and we’re always looking at ways to save money. We rely heavily on the help and support that is offered by our wonderful volunteers. We simply couldn’t do what we do without them.

If you would like to be part of the MarshFest buzz, we’d love to have your help to make it happen, whether that be scanning tickets on the door, setting up, or ripping down the site. Please do get in touch if you have an hour or more to spare on or around 11th September. Just drop us a line on our contact page https://marshfest.co.uk/contact thanks so much!

Marshfest is a not for-profit organisation. Every last penny of money made goes back to our charities. We don’t carry any cash over to the next year so every year we have to work from scratch –at not inconsiderable risk to our credit cards!

Apart from making sure you have the tickets before they sell out, buying online ahead of the day gives us that much needed cash flow. The more we have in the coffers before the event, the more we can give to charity and also ensure we can deliver the quality event that you expect. We have a well tested wet weather plan, so rain or shine – we’re on! So please, if you know you’re coming, please book now! 

Whether you’d like to get involved and would like to hear more about the event, please contact the MarshFest team via Facebook
