Great opportunities to volunteer at the festival

A community festival for Peterborough at Ferry Meadows

16th to 17th May 2026

Back for its fifth year, this free-to-attend weekend festival promises to be another fabulous celebration of our city and all the reasons we love it - our culture, our music, our diversity and our talented communities.

This year we're linking up with the National Year of Reading and will fill our festival with stories - not just in books but in music, poetry, performances, our communities and in everyone's lives and experiences. Join us to tell your story! 

And of course, you’ll still find all the things you love about the festival - world food vendors, a lively bar, amusements, local craft stalls and plenty of surprises around every corner. 

Mark your calendars and keep an eye here for more updates over the coming weeks. We can’t wait to celebrate our city and stories with you!

In the meantime if you are a performer, food vendor, would like to have a stall or would just like to find out more about how you could get involved with your community, please email [email protected]
