Biddulph Festival

Biddulph Festival is an annual community festival, which began on a small scale in 1997 and has grown significantly to be held over 6 weeks from the end of June and throughout July (prior to Covid-19 restrictions).

It partners closely with several groups, supported by over 130 volunteers, residents, local businesses, schools and organisations.

Events usually include a launch day parade, dancing, concert, BBQ, ‘Family Fun Day’ and ‘Biddulph by the Sea’ with donkeys, sand, fair rides and ice cream.

The variety of events make a cultural impact in the town, attract visitors and provide something for all ages, as well as raising money for Festival charities.

Here’s some memories of Biddulph Festival 2019:

Unfortunately, lockdown restrictions meant Biddulph Festival 2020 events were cancelled.

Biddulph Festival 2021 events were restricted – a programme of walks organised by Biddulph Ramblers, cakes at the Churches Together Cafe, a seaside art exhibition and trail and the annual Variety Show.
