It is with sadness and considerable disappointment that the Directors of Ireby Festival CIC make the following announcement:

The directors of Ireby Festival CIC have agreed that the Ireby Festival is unable to continue. This is not a decision taken lightly as preparations for the 2023 Ireby Festival were well advanced.

With so many happy memories, we would like to thank everyone who attended the festival; the fans, campers and friends of the festival, the artists, the supporting businesses, the organisers and stewards, and everyone else who helped to make the festival such a success in years gone by. We will all miss it.

The Directors of Ireby Festival CIC (a not for profit organisation) made this decision due to a sudden and unexpected change in the financial circumstances which are beyond our control and we are not prepared to risk a situation where Festival Artists and service providers cannot be paid in full for their work.

Our loyal followers who hold tickets issued pre-pandemic and Lockdown will be reimbursed the value of their ticket. Holders of tickets purchased via Gigantic Ticketing Agency should approach them directly.

The Directors
Ireby Festival CIC
