SHOCK Sleaford are pleased to announce a partnership with Sleaford Town Council for this year’s Sleaford Festival (formerly Sleaford Oktoberfest). The support from Sleaford Town Council will allow this well-established annual event to not only continue but grow and develop. With a continued move towards a more family-friendly festival, there will be some small changes to the format, with the festival moving to a one-day all-day event, inclusion of stalls and additional vendors, and the removal of an entry fee. Save the date – Saturday 19th September 2026, Boston Road Recreation Ground. Watch this space for further developments and news.
