We said we were planning something exciting this year and with that in mind we are excited to announce that in Partnership with the Glossop Round Table, GlossFest is born.
Glossfest is three-day community music festival taking place from 26-28th May 2023 in the Glossop and promises to be an unforgettable experience for visitors and residents alike.
Featuring a diverse line-up of local and national talent across a range of genres such as indie, folk, rock, and blues. The Festival line-up includes Gorilla Riot, Run Out The Guns, and Dark Peak Music, and many more with over 10 bands playing in the town over the weekend. Alongside this there will be performances from local theatre and dance groups including Centre Stage Dance Academy GLOSSOP Limelight Musical Theatre, Dark Peak Music, and evening afterparties at venues across the town. A packed line-up ensuring that there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
In addition to a mix of local bands & music, the festival will also feature a beer festival celebrating the best Local and regional brews, a mix of locally based restaurant and outlets doing food on the square and Henry St, a Bank Holiday Market and a funfair from Funfair and Candyfloss. With all that is going on, the weekend promises a lively and vibrant atmosphere.
Centred on a main stage in Norfolk Square, in the heart of the town GlossFest will take place at various locations throughout the town, allowing visitors to explore the many independent shops and restaurants that Glossop has to offer. Like all our festivals, this year’s festival is free, thanks to the support of our sponsors, Glossop Round Table and Glossop Creative Trust.
Speaking about the event, Duncan Wright from Glossop Creative Trust said, “Building on the success of the Town Hall Sessions in 2017, and last year’s Victorian & Heritage weekend, We’re excited to bring GlossFest to Glossop for the first time. We’ve put together a fantastic line-up of music and activities for everyone to enjoy, and we’re grateful for the amazing support we have had across the town in making this event happen.”
GlossFest is a celebration of the vibrant community spirit of Glossop, and the organisers are committed to ensuring that the festival is a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
