The festival committee were concerned that the festival going ahead in light of the current conflict with Ukraine would be appropriate – which sadly saw the ">organisers subject to online abuse last week.
But today (Thursday) the committee confirmed that the decision had been made that the festival would be going ahead for Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee year.

Hide AdA spokesman said: “We are pleased to confirm that our 2022 festival will go ahead on 9-10 July as planned.
“After thoroughly examining the Festival in light of the current conflict in the Ukraine, our committee is confident to press on with planning and delivering this summer’s event. We are also committed to using
the Festival to raise and donate funds to support Ukrainian refugees in our local area.
After two years away due to the pandemic, we are looking forward to bringing this vastly popular event back to our village to mark our 10-year anniversary and celebrate the resilience of people on the
Homefront in the 1940s.”
