💛 A HUGE THANK YOU FROM THE FRIARWOOD FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERS! 💛

What a day! 🥹🎉

From the small team behind the scenes, we just want to say a massive thank you to every single person who came along to Friarwood Festival and helped make it such an incredible day.

Seeing the park full of smiling faces, families enjoying themselves, dancing, laughing, eating, drinking and simply having a brilliant time made all the hours of planning, organising and volunteering completely worth it. ❤️

We couldn’t do it without you. Your support means so much to us and to the local community.

And to all our amazing volunteers, performers, stage teams, security, first aid, traders, sponsors and everyone who helped make the day happen — THANK YOU! 🙌

We’re a small team of volunteers with a big love for our community, and yesterday reminded us exactly why we do it.

You made Friarwood Festival the BEST day! 🥰

Until next time… 💃☀️🎶

Thank you, Pontefract! ❤️

Thank you Friarwood Festival what an event. First time as a trader but what a great event to be part of. Great atmosphere, lovely traders. After being up prepping the trailer ready since 8am and just getting home now I am absolutely shattered but really enjoyed the event.

Happy days being part of such a wonderful community event. Thank you to all the volunteers that made it happen and worked so hard to make everyone so welcome.
