However the unprecedented uncertainty around the date and key weeks and months building up to the festival has given us no choice but to cancel.

It certainly wasn’t an easy decision but we all have tough times ahead and must focus on what’s right for our community and our people.

Brodstock is completely not-for-profit, run by volunteers, with all money raised going to local causes and community grassroots sport. In fact well over 100 volunteers put on last year’s event.

The next few months will give a lot of people new challenges and perspectives. The most important thing is to stay safe, support the vulnerable and do right by your family.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all our volunteers for all their hard work and thank all the musicians who put themselves forward to play for free. We’d like to acknowledge our suppliers and traders, who have become part of the extended Brodstock family.

We’d also like to big-up to our sponsors and event partners whose support was going to be so vital in taking the festival forward again this June. They include the good eggs and community-minded folk at:

Main sponsor:
Awm

Associate Sponsors:
ABS. A Better Way. Caravan Guard, Expect Distribution, JLA Ltd, Farnell Land Rover, Leo Group Ltd, Reloc8, Yorkshire Payments

Event Partners:
Brighouse Central Music Academy, Mike Payne, Halifax Courier, The Hipperholme Private Day Nursery, MuSic 4 MS, Overgate Hospice, Timple

We’d particularly like to mention Associated Waste Management and John Brooksbank who has been our headline sponsor now for five years.

Last but certainly not least; thank you to everyone else that’s got behind us, enthused about the day, and told friends we’re worth giving up their Saturday for.

Remember. Stay safe, follow the guidance, do the right thing and let’s get through this!

Thank you

Team Brodstock
