Fairfield Playground
Fairfield Festival
Thank you to everyone who kept the faith and braved the possibility of bad weather on Saturday to come and enjoy Fairfield Festival.
Mercifully the rain largely stayed away until the last musical act had played their encore and despite an overcast and breezy day much fun was had by all.
Special thanks to everyone who helped with the planning and running of the day and all our amazing musical performers. Thanks also to our partners Global Village Cafe, Beyond Radio and More Music.
We hope to return at the same time next year.
Andrew, Mike and Jon
