WELCOME TO RUSHFEST 2023
We're back!
We are so proud to be bringing Rushfest back for a THIRD year. It was difficult for us to make the decision to not hold the festival last year but we were organising another little event, our wedding! We can't wait to put all our creative energy back into Rushfest this year. When we came up with the idea to put on the first Rushfest during a global pandemic it seemed crazy (and probably was). We wanted to create a day for the village of Rushden that was safe and within all the government Covid guidelines but that allowed the local people the chance to relax and feel normal while being entertained by some of our incredibly talented friends. The entertainment industry was devastated by the pandemic and this was a chance to do what we all love in the village we call home. The day could not have gone better. The sun was shining and the support we felt from everybody was incredible. As soon as it finished we were receiving requests to make it a yearly occurrence and needed no convincing on that matter. All going well, this year we will not need to operate the day under the same restrictions but we will absolutely follow any guidelines still in place to ensure the day is as safe as it is fun. We are adding more artists to the line up this year with the return of some favourites of Rushfest '20-'21. We cannot wait to see you there.
