Durrington Festival 2026 'set to be biggest yet'

Preparations are well underway for Durrington Festival 2026, with organisers announcing an exciting year ahead as the much-loved community event continues to grow in scale, ambition, and local impact.

The festival team look forward to welcoming the community on the festivals big day on Saturday 6th June 2026.

The festival is proud to confirm Rounce Funeral Services as its main sponsor for 2026, demonstrating strong local business support and commitment to community engagement. Their sponsorship plays a vital role in helping deliver a vibrant and inclusive event for residents, charities, and businesses alike.

Festival Director Jack Clements shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming event: "We are incredibly excited for Durrington Festival 2026 and the new opportunities it brings. The festival is not only a fantastic platform for local businesses and charities to showcase what they do, but more importantly, it’s about bringing our community together. Seeing people connect, support one another, and celebrate everything that makes our area special is what it’s all about."

Director of Operations Gemma Metcalfe highlighted the strong demand already seen this year: "2026 has seen an incredibly fast uptake, with plots selling quickly and our car show already sold out. We’re also looking forward to delivering a large carnival this year, subject to organisations arriving on the day, which will be a fantastic addition for visitors. With plots nearly sold out, it’s shaping up to be one of our biggest and most exciting festivals yet."

With a packed programme expected, including live entertainment, community stalls, family activities, and the ever-popular car show, Durrington Festival 2026 is set to attract visitors from across the region.
