🌞 Party on the Pitch — Thank You, Halstead!
Halstead, you absolutely lit up the pitch.
What an incredible day — sunshine, music, families, friends, bubbles, dancing, and that unmistakable buzz that only this town can create. We’re still riding the high from the atmosphere you brought with you.
To our amazing volunteers, our tireless tech crew, and the brilliant team at Halstead Town FC — you are the engine behind this whole event. Your energy, graft, and generosity turn a field into a festival and a community into a family. We couldn’t do any of this without you.
And here’s the bit that matters just as much as the music and the sunshine:
Every single penny raised goes straight back into the Empire Theatre.
Your support helps us keep film tickets at £5, maintain our beautiful historic building, and continue offering affordable, inclusive events for everyone in Halstead.
You didn’t just show up — you supported local, you supported community, and you helped protect a piece of Halstead’s heart.
From all of us at the Empire: thank you for making Party on the Pitch unforgettable.
Same time next year?
