The festival now owns the fields. This is the amazing news that, after so many years, we've finally been able to secure Brunt's Fields - and the future of the festival for years to come. So thank you to everyone who's helped us realise The Dream. Put simply we have had some fantastic support, big and small, plus some serious one-off donations - as well as the amazing pledge from Ben Daglish’s family to match all Glorious One Hundred donations in Ben’s memory. So thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who's contributed to this amazing outcome. What better way to start 2023! We can now get on with our plans to renew facilities on the fields, like the electrics, water and storage as well as environmental improvements to the fields themselves. Naturally we’ll be going for whatever grant aid we can raise for this (and we’ve been pretty successful over the years) but what grant funders like is those who bring match funding. So, we’re going to keep the [[http://www.stainsbyfestival.org.uk/appeal.shtml|appeal page]] open for donations, in case anyone feels the urge to drop us a few bob now and again, whilst we get on with planning what is such a bright future (we've gotta wear shades!) Meanwhile tickets will be on sale shortly for 2023. More news very very soon! === T-shirts!
