Cranfest 2023 Update

As a result of the regrettable closure of The White Horse, it has become necessary to restructure the setup of CRANFEST 23. We will still use four venues to accommodate all of the artists that have been booked for the festival, but these will now be The George Hotel and Larkins’ Alehouse (as originally planned), The Vestry Hall, which will now be used more extensively this year than originally planned, and a brand new stage situated on the High Street so that all of the festival stages remain in close proximity to each other.

The High Street stage will be used only on the Saturday of the festival. We have artists pre-booked for late afternoon and the evening, but during the early part of the day, the stage will be open to anyone who would like to come along and play; essentially, a Buskers stage. If you would like to book a slot on the Buskers stage, do get in touch with us.

All of these changes to the setup of the festival will be reflected on the website shortly. We can assure you that they will not detract from the tremendous dynamics or the charming atmosphere of the festival; on the contrary, we believe that the new setup will be better than ever. Come along and see for yourself.
