Well Street Common Festival 2026

Big News! The Well Street Common Festival will be back in 2026. We’re just getting started with planning and organising but are happy to announce that it will be on again on Sunday June 14th from 12:00-18:00.

As always we are looking for volunteers to help us run the festival, so please get in touch if you have a couple of hours to lend a hand on the day. From helping out at the BBQ, Tea tent, or litter picking, we have lots of different areas where your help can make the day.

Just send an email to info@wellstreetcommon.org and let us know you’d like to help.

We’re also looking for hot food sellers. If you’re interested in having a pitch, please email us for pricing.
