🎶 A huge thank you to everyone who has supported our Hi Fest 2026 crowdfunder so far! 💙

As a volunteer-run community music festival, every donation helps us cover the practical costs of putting on the event, from equipment and promotion to programmes and event infrastructure.

If you're looking forward to Hi Fest 2026, have enjoyed the festival in previous years, or simply want to support local live music, we'd be incredibly grateful for any contribution, however small.

And if donating isn't possible right now, sharing our crowdfunder with friends and family would help enormously too 😊

🎵 For the price of a pint, you could help support a weekend of live music enjoyed by hundreds of people. 🎸🎶

🎶 Our Hi Fest 2026 Crowdfunder is now LIVE! 🎶

Every year, Hi Fest brings together local musicians, venues, volunteers and music lovers for a fantastic weekend of live music across Hayling Island 💙

Behind the scenes, there are costs involved in making the festival happen, from equipment and promotion to programmes and event infrastructure.

That's why we've launched our Hi Fest 2026 crowdfunder.

If you've enjoyed Hi Fest in the past, are looking forward to this year's festival, or simply want to support local live music and community events, we'd be incredibly grateful for any contribution, big or small.

Every donation helps us keep Hi Fest running and free for everyone to enjoy 🎸

And if you're not able to donate, sharing this post would help us enormously too 😊
