Hat Fair 2025

Last year saw the festival celebrate its 50th birthday in style, and this year it will return to its roots with a focus on our Hatters (buskers) and their brilliant street performances. After all, it’s where the festival takes its name from – putting a hat out after a performance to collect donations from the audience.

The 2025 festival will reminisce on its beginnings in 1974 as a hatter’s event and the programme will feature a line-up of street theatre, experts in clowning, magic, physical comedy, acrobatics and audience participation.

This year’s event will also celebrate the charity’s (Play to the Crowd) year-round engagement work with diverse local communities, providing a platform for groups and individuals to showcase their talent.
