We are really pleased to have played a role in helping to secure the 'big screen' for this evenings match alongside Bells Hotel and Country Club. We are extremely grateful for their ongoing support for Coleford Music Festival and their invitation to come along this evening with our collection buckets to get the ball rolling (excuse the pun) for the which will take place on 10/11th July 2027.

Please bring some cash to put in the buckets! Thank you.

WE'VE DONE IT AGAIN... AND THIS IS OUR BIGGEST ONE YET!

Just when you thought our England match nights couldn't get any bigger... we've only gone and brought in a HUGE outdoor cinema screen!

This Wednesday, watch England 🇬🇧 vs Argentina 🇦🇷 in the World Cup Semi Final on the biggest screen we've ever had at Bells!

We've invested in this because we want to create something truly special for our customers and our community. Every England game has grown bigger than the last, and thanks to your incredible support, we're able to keep raising the bar.

Whether you've joined us before or this will be your first visit, we'd love to see you there. Bring your friends, wear your England shirt and let's create another unforgettable night together.

Wednesday 15th July, Kick-off: 8:00pm

Let's fill the garden, make some noise and roar England into the World Cup Final!

⭐️A message from the Coleford Music Festival Team.⭐️

After some incredible years of music and memories, it’s time to press pause, just for now.

Over the years we’ve been lucky enough to welcome an incredible line-up of artists and performers to our stages and are immensely proud to have championed so much homegrown talent.

But... we are taking a year out to reflect, regroup and reimagine the future of Coleford Music Festival after a tough couple of years of rising costs and significant funding challenges.

We are certainly not the only ones to be affected in this way, so we have decided to put as much energy as possible into raising funds and awareness this year in order to carry on for 2027 and beyond.

We will use this year to work with our local communities and partners to build a sustainable future for the festival and call upon the festival's dedicated supporters to play an active role in shaping its future through membership programmes, holding fundraising events, sponsorship opportunities, putting forward your ideas for future festivals, or by becoming a volunteer.

Coleford Music Festival was due to take place in July 2026
However, it is hoped that a ticketed music event will take place towards the end of the summer to provide much-needed funds to keep the festival going, look out for details on our website www.colefordmusicfestival.co.uk soon.

Please continue to support local festivals and independent music venues, keep the live music scene thriving in the Forest of Dean.

Thank you to you all, we hope to see you soon.

Coleford Music Festival will return to the streets of Coleford over the weekend of 10/11 July 2027 - save the date!
