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 great attraction that it is today, welcoming visitors from across the county, bringing everyone together to celebrate the start of the Summer season.

Moulton village festival has been run by volunteers from the local community for all of it’s 50 year history. Being a community festival, each year local residents and businesses come together to keep the tradition going. The Moulton Festival Organisation puts together the insurance and relevant permissions in place for the festival but really, without your help there would be no festival.
