Redfest returns to park

Redfest organisers have confirmed that this year’s festival will make its return to St George Park.

Redfest organisers have confirmed that this year’s festival will make its return to St George Park.

The event will take place on Saturday 4 August and will feature three music stages, a kids village, wellbeing area, performance tent, spoken word stage and a food and crafts market.

The headline act has been announced as Lack of Afro, aka multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Adam Gibbons. The headline sponsors will be Café Grounded and The Old Stillage.

In a statement on the festival website organiser Dominic Ljubic has stated that they still need to raise more money and that a new fundraising campaign has been launched:

“We’ve set a target of raising £10,000 from you – the amazing residents and businesses of BS5,” he wrote. “It sounds like a lot, but if everyone who comes to Redfest donates just £3, we’d be financially secure for this year and next.”
