Petersfield Spring Festival will be returning in 2026...
After a year's break, and with us probably missing the Festivals as much as you did, we are planning to bring back one big festival a year and for it to be our most popular Petersfield Spring Festival over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend at the end of May.
With this reboot we would like the town to have a feeling of ownership and for the community to buy in and help make this happen. Keep a look out for further details as we announce them of all of the ways you can be involved to get the buzz back in town...
Sunday 24th and Monday 25th May
SAVE THE DATE!
Our Crowdfunder is now LIVE
Petersfield Spring Festival will be returning in 2026 but we need your help!! We (Ben and Steve) have been running events in Petersfield for over 13 years, and as always, we’re willing to give our time and skills to make this free, community event happen. Here are just some of the things your donations will help make possible:
- Family-friendly live entertainment throughout the weekend 🎶
- Children’s rides and attractions for all ages 🎠
- Safety measures including event marshals, security, signage and first aid 🚑
- Road closures and logistics to keep everyone safe 🚧
- Stage, sound and power for our amazing local bands and performers 🎤
- Marketing and promotion to spread the word and bring visitors to town 📣
- Square and Toilet hire, Waste management and litter picking to keep the town spotless ♻
Every penny donated will go directly towards making the Petersfield Spring Festival possible for everyone to enjoy.

Thirteen years of awesome...
Way back in 2011, just us two guys took it upon ourselves that the Summer Festivities, as they were called back then, must carry on with their August Bank Holiday fun after the previous organisers stepped down. Armed with a tonne of energy, bucket loads of goodwill and years of experience in organising events we set about putting on our first Petersfield Summer Festival with only 6 weeks notice to "cobble something together"! After a great success, we loved it so much we wanted to carry on and added more and more community events into the Petersfield calendar ever since.
We want to say a massive heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in years gone by for being so awesome and here is a selection of photos below of what we brought to town.
See you again soon...
