About Moulton Village Festival

Moulton Village Festival has been a family favourite for over 50 years. Originally, the festival started as a combination of the Church Fete and the revival of the Carnival Parade before more recently evolving into the community event that it is today, welcoming visitors from across the county, bringing everyone together to celebrate the start of the Summer.

Our Festival has become the great event it is today due to the desire of our great community to come together and keep these traditions going. Everyone is encouraged to contribute ideas or to undertake responsibility for an event or activity.
