40FEST Celebration Festival
Saturday 15th August 2026
Party with us at our extravaganza for all ages this August.
From 2 – 6pm on Saturday 15th August, 40FEST promises a joyous mix of bands, storytelling, games, an exhibition, food and fun for all ages, and not only that, but it’s entirely FREE to attend!
There will be something to offer everyone, and the day will be rounded off at 7pm with a lively ceilidh with live music from the brilliant folk band Wear’d Aliens. The evening promises music, dancing and conversation and there will be a licensed bar to help the night go with a swing.
It will be a great opportunity to reconnect with friends both old and new from the Jack Drum community, so join us for this brilliant summer shindig.
Tickets are £5 plus booking fee. Proceeds will contribute towards making the event possible, so we hope to see you on the dancefloor
