Consett Festival

31/05/2025

This would have been Consett Festival weekend but sadly it's not to be this year.
However for those of you looking for some great live music, but with the addition of some chilled-out camping, take a look at Consett Festival's little sister festival in Lanchester. Next month sees the 6th 499 Festival Lanchester . Aimed more towards adults, the 499 Festival features the same great stage as Consett Festival and the same high quality bands with real ale/cider, cheap can bar, cocktails, street food and camping. Check it out, it might just be what you need this summer.

Consett Festival 2025 News.

Getting straight to the point, and trying to keep this brief, unfortunately there will be no Consett Festival 2025. Dwindling finances suggest the business structure just isn't working in its current form and needs reassessing. Something I'm not able to deal with currently.

I am hoping to be in a position to start the event back up again in the future.
My apologies to everyone that looks forward to Consett Festival.

Thank you to all of you that have supported the festival over the years and thank you to Consett AFC for being a great host for the event.

It's the final day of Consett Festival the sun is already out and we've got plenty in store for everyone.
- Loads of bouncy castles and rides, plus Circus skills workshops and demonstrations with an insane amount of bubbles haha!
- A lovely selection of market stalls with hand crafted goodies, toys, art, sweet stuff and smelly stuff (the good kind of smelly).
- You have a chance to win yourself a guitar that is signed by every performer at the festival this year. Kindly donated by Steel Town Music . Keep your eye out for the raffle tickets.
- The first live music of the day comes from New Dimension followed by the brilliant Spilt Milk Band .
To close out Consett Festival 2024, headlining Sunday on the main stage, the fabulous The Buskers !
It's only £5 entry for adults, £3 for under 18s and of course FREE for under 13s.
Grab a camping chair, some suntan lotion and get yourselves along to Consett AFC from 11am TODAY!
