Live Performances on Stage
We’re excited to introduce something new for 2026 … a live performance stage!
Thanks to the support of Nationwide Windows and Doors, performers will take to the stage where visitors can enjoy a packed programme of live entertainment throughout the afternoon.
From local choirs to community performers, there’ll be something for everyone to enjoy. Have a look at the schedule below:
A Thank You to Our Sponsors
Nationwide Windows and Doors are kindly sponsoring this year’s festival and generously made a £5,000 contribution to the event. Their support has helped fund the stage, toilets, bouncy castles and paint for the Colour Run.
This forms part of the £100,000 of social value they’ve invested through their Windows and Doors programme.
Practical Information to Know
Parking will be limited on the day. If you live nearby and able to, we recommend just walking over to Farnborough Fields to find the festival.
We welcome you to bring your picnic blankets and chairs to help you enjoy the day in comfort.
In terms of weather, the MET Office is currently reporting Saturday’s weather to be much cooler than in recent weeks, with temperatures between 17-19C during festival hours.
If we do have hot weather on the day though, make sure to stay safe in the sun by wearing sunscreen and wearing hats/sunglasses.
With just 24 hours to go, we’re excited to bring Castle Vale together for a day of fun for the whole family.
We’ll see you there!
