Chester Community Music Festival 2026

To our wonderful community, Thank you all for so fervently getting behind our mission to bring community music to the masses. We have been incredibly overwhelmed by all the pledges and messages of support - it has spurred us on to put on the best possible event for you. Despite having all our plans in place and the support of so many wonderful people (including the council!), we have now been let down by one of our funding sources and as time is not on our side to find a replacement source, we have taken the very difficult decision to postpone the festival for this year. As far as we understand, your pledges will be returned to you automatically by Spacehive once the crowdfund timescale runs out on 31st March. You'll note the word 'postpone': we're not letting this one go, and have already turned our attention to bringing the event to life in 2027. Watch this space! From the bottom of our hearts - thank you for your support. The Chester Community Music Festival team
