Biddulph Festival 2026

Biddulph Festival kicks off on Saturday 13th June until 12th August 2026. An extended month of entertainment, fun & enjoyment….something for all.

This years theme is ‘Reading’ to celebrate the National Year of Reading. The launch day begins with a café in the Town Hall at 10am. The festival launch parade is on Saturday 4th July at 11am, with entertainment at the front of the Town Hall. Children and adults from local schools and community groups will transition into book characters and take part in the procession through the town centre. Expect to see various different literary characters bringing Biddulph to life.

At midday the town centre will transform into Biddulph by the sea. The sand pit will be opened, the Punch and Judy show will commence, the fairground rides will start and everything that you would expect from a classic seaside holiday will be going on into the afternoon. This will be a free event.

Events that will be making a welcome return will be the flower festival, evening walks with the ramblers, fun day, car show, weekly cafe on the steps of the town hall and the Festival of Brilliant to name but a few.

Biddulph Festival promises to offer something for everyone, including music, singing, dancing, acting, art displays, literacy and flowers. Thanks to the Biddulph ‘Yarnbarms’ who will decorate around the Town centre providing a colourful visual display for everyone to enjoy.

Many thanks once again for the support from Biddulph Town Council, local businesses, sponsors and volunteers for their support. Special thanks to Veronica Brown for her expertise in producing the festival brochure, posters and tickets.
