FlakeFest 2025. Fleetwood Music Festival published their Delivery Report!11 months ago
Flakefest 2024 was a festival of art and culture and we were overwhelmed with its success and impact on the community of Fleetwood. We want to re create it in 2025 , bigger and better !
Summer across the UK is filled with festivals. We want to create our very own Glastonbury , Leeds and Reading albeit without the tents and clean up operation after its finished. in 2024 , the community of Fleetwood came together to put on one of the biggest community festivals it has seen and we want to do it bigger and better in 2025. Celeb and local bands will come together to rub shoulders with the folks of Fleetwood and surrounding towns to create a night to remember. The impact from 2024 was amazing ; It generated revenue for local small businesses , created over 520 hours of volunteering time from the local community and had a positive impact on green spaces in the town in the run up to the festival. The buzz from the festival goers was incredible and what we achieved from a non alcoholic event something to remember. Fingers crossed we can pull it off in 2025

You did it !!! We hit our target and Flakefest 2025 goes ahead on the 27th June. Thanks to a donation of £6798 from Flakefleet Primary School , we ended our campaign with a bang. This donation would not have been possible without the families and friends of Flakefleet Primary and Strive Coffee shop. During the past 3 months , volunteers have ben raising funds through cake sales , bingo , fun days , bring and buy sales and makers markets. We are overwhelmed ! Our line up is complete and we have community artists , kids and a 90s sensation Whigfield topping our bill. Its now time to get Festival ready and we can't wait . We also thank Lancashire County Council Sport and Culture fund for their funding ........ we couldn't have done it without them.
Brilliant news, thanks everyone!
We have been overwhelmed by the support we are receiving from the community to raise funds for Flakefest 2025. Our latest event brought families and children together to compete in good old fashioned street games like Tog O War , hula hooping and marbles. We are well on our way to achieving our target
We are thrilled to announce that we have a date for Flakefest 2025. Get your festival gear ready and put a note in your diary for Friday 24th June. To hit this date and get ready in time we have had to scale back some of our festival costings but after discussion with Spacehive and Lancashire County Council, we are still good to go ! We are proud to announce that we will still have the support of Lancashire County Council who will still pledge £7,000 to our campaign which we are delighted about . Its now full steam ahead with our campaign for the remaining funding .

VolunteerFrom the moment I looked around the school, prior to the start of my role here in April 2016, I fell in love with our school; should you come and have a look around for yourself, we think you will, too........... Dave McPartlin , Head Teacher
At Flakefleet Primary , we are strongly committed to helping our children grow and develop the skills that they will need to be successful in life. We take great pride in the broad and exciting curriculum we offer our children and the range of support they receive in order to thrive. As importantly as the core academic skills our children learn, we want everyone to be happy within school, feel safe and confident to take on the challenges they will face as they grow older. Resilience, aspirations and the willingness and ability to take risks, believe in oneself and learn from mistakes are qualities that we believe are essential and we commit a lot of time and effort into helping our children and staff be the best versions of themselves. Our school motto is #daretodream and our children, staff and community truly believe that anything is possible. This can-do attitude has resulted in us being third favourite for Christmas Number One in 2018, Happiest Primary School 2018, School of the Year Runners Up in 2019 and Golden Buzzer Finalists in Britain’s Got Talent amongst very many other exciting things!
The world has changed over the last few years but we want to move forward and celebrate what the community of Fleetwood has to offer . Following the success of the Flakefest Festival 2019 , we want to bring it back bigger and better .
Flakefest 2025 is a music festival created by the people of Fleetwood for the people of Fleetwood .
If Glastonbury , Reading , Leeds and the Isle of Wight can pull off Festivals of all shapes and sizes , so can smaller communities like Fleetwood , located on the Fylde Coast of LANCASHIRE.
