The Hambledon Festival Committee met today discuss the current situation and the impact of COVID-19 on our event.
Further to the latest recommendations and timeframes announced by the Government on Monday, we have taken the decision to postpone the Festival weekend to Friday 4th to Sunday 6th September 2020. Our intention is to run all of the planned events on that weekend.
Given that this is a fast moving situation and the large amount of pre-planning required for a successful event, we will be continually reviewing the situation. We will make a final decision on whether the dates of 4th to 6th of September are viable on or around Friday 5th June.
If it does not prove possible to hold the Festival on that September weekend, then we will be postponing the Festival until June 2021.
We hope this helps with your planning. We are really disappointed at having to postpone and are eager to hold the event as soon as it is safe to do so. Many thanks for your understanding, we will keep in touch with regards to the revised date and when we can press the button to steam ahead. We promise you that when the Festival does go ahead it will be the Mother of all parties.
Best wishes
Hambledon Festival Committee
I’m sure Junction 4 Big Band will be available for the change of date. Here’s wishing the organising committee the very best for all the work involved in staging such a fantastic event.
