Following their first ever online meeting the\nRomsey Festival Committee are pleased to announce dates for a Festival in 2021\nto replace the event cancelled this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romsey Festival 2021 will launch at the Town Hall\non Friday 2nd July and run through to Sunday 18th July 2021. All participants signed\nup for this year and who have responded, have supported the rescheduled dates,\npriority will be given to fitting those performances and events into the\nprogramme. The Committee expect to have at least two evening opportunities for\nlarger concerts or performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only does the Festival give our community an\nopportunity to enjoy some great performances, many individual events offer an\nopportunity for funds to be raised for local charities and generate revenue for\nvenues, an important motivator for Festival organisers given the huge loss of\nrevenue these charities and venues have seen in 2020, because of the\nCoronavirus lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rescheduling has resulted in some extra costs that\nmust be covered, the Committee is grateful to its local authority and business\nsponsors who have all agreed that sponsorship funds can be carried forward.\nRomsey Festival is always keen to discuss additional sponsor opportunities with\nlocal businesses<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romsey Festival Chair, Liz Wagner<\/strong>, said \u201cI am absolutely delighted that the 2020 Romsey Festival\nparticipants are really enthusiastic about holding a Festival in 2021. We\nintend that next year\u2019s Festival will be a great celebration of the many and\nvaried talents of our local community and it will be a real boost to\nparticipants and audiences alike. I also hope that it will be something\nfor everyone to look forward to and help make the current situation be a\ndistant memory.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Romsey Town Centre Manager, Mark Edgerley<\/strong>, said \u201cThis is really good news for Romsey we have to be hopeful that\nsummer 2021 will see Coronavirus a controlled yet terrible memory for us all. Romsey is known far and wide for our superb\ncommunity spirit and this decision accords with that fact\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Following their first ever online meeting the Romsey Festival Committee are pleased to announce dates for a Festival in 2021 to replace the event cancelled this year.
