Meet & Greets

All the artists join in the festival’s relaxed, informal, friendly atmosphere, supporting each other and chatting with guests. Each stage has its meet and greets area for artists to meet you directly after their performance for photographs and signing merchandise.

NB Although not confirmed yet, Friday is likely to be the switch-on night for Blackpool Illuminations; the motorways can become very busy. We recommend setting off as early as possible.

Nobody knows how long this virus will be with us, but we must not let it stop us from planning for the future. Having successfully delivered the festival safely in 2021, 2022 and 2023 we are optimistic that by Aug / September 2024, we are able to run the festival with no restrictions in place.

Our Guarantee:  If the festival is cancelled due to Covid-19 or restrictions imposed by the government, you will be entitled to a full refund, or if you prefer, you can hold on to your ticket at the price you paid, and it will be valid for a re-arranged date.

We are determined to run the festival, but when we do it has to be safe for our guests, artists, crew and venue staff.

We work closely with the venue, local council, and regional safety advisory groups,s and we are following the planning considerations of the Purple Guide.
