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.

Support Moulton Village Festival

Moulton Village Festival only happens each year, due to the incredible support of our local community. From live music and family activities to the carnival parade and other village events, every part of the festival depends on the support of an army of volunteers and the generous donations of our visitors, local businesses and stall holders. Many local businesses donate a large amount of their profits or give a generous amount of time to give back into the community. These partners can be found on our homepage.

To help us keep the festival thriving over the next 50 years for future generations, please consider making a donation to help cover the essential costs including insurance, event safety, licenses, entertainment and equipment.
