Wicked Hathern Fest,

Hathern, England, United Kingdom Hathern, England, United Kingdom

  • About the event

    Over the last four years, Wicked Hathern Fest, in the Leicestershire village of Hathern, has grown from small beginnings to become a must-go-to event for the area.

    The 2016 line-up has now been announced and this year we have booked Mowtown Legends Martha Reeves and the Vandellas and 90's indie band Dodgy. For the first time in the festival’s history we have booked known artist rather than tribute acts to headline our event. Both artists are internationally known and have sold millions of records and a platinum-selling UK group, as well as the usual mix up and coming and local acts. 

    Wicked Hathern Fest kicks off on the Friday night with a pre-event warm-up party featuring music from great local and regional artists, leading into the main Saturday event which will take place over two stages.

    As well as the main stage, there is an acoustic stage in the bar tent, which transforms into a comedy stage later in the evening.

    Why should you sponsor?

    Our sponsors are vital to the running of our festival, without them we just wouldn't exist.  Our Main Stage, Acoustic Stage, Bar, Kids Zone & Campsite are all sponsored by businesses and there is also plenty of opportunity for getting your business involved with WHF too by becoming an Associate Business.

    EVENT SPONSORS

    Our Main Stage, Acoustic Stage, Bar, Camping and Kids Zones all have opportunities to be sponsored by businesses.

    As well as having your logos on your location and banners & flags at strategic points on the site you will also get links on the website, adverts in the brochure, and coverage in local media - as well as tickets for your staff or customers.

    ASSOCIATE BUSINESSES

    We are always looking for businesses who will work with us to provide services for our visitors or to help us with the set-up and take down of the site.

    From skip hire to photographers and magicians to van hire, if your business can offer us a service either FOC or at a discounted rate, then get in touch.

    Also, if you own a business where the general public can pop in, why not apply to become an authorised ticket sales outlet?

    All our Associate Businesses have links on our website and we offer FREE entry to the business owners.

    ADVERTISERS

    Finally - but by no means less important - are our advertisers.  If you want to support the festival and advertise in our brochure, that goes out FREE to all our visitors, then get in touch.  Adverts start from as little as £50.


    Graham Spencer

    Hathern Village Association was created by a group of volunteer villagers with the aim of restoring Hathern's community events to their former glory.

    HVA began in 2011 with the purpose or organising a street party for the royal wedding of William and Catherine.  Since then the organisation has grown from strength to strength and now produces three main events per year for the village of Hathern. The continuing purpose of the association is to organise fun events for the village and to keep the spirit of village life alive.

    Hathern Village Association prides itself in working with other local groups to help them further their needs too.  Hathern Parish Church, Hathern School, Hathern Youth Club and Hathern Open Gardens all work closely with HVA.

    We now run and manage 'Hathern Carnival & Village Fete' jointly with Hathern School & the FPTA, 'Wicked Hathern Fest' and the 'Firework And Bonfire Party'.  We also support 'Hathern Open Gardens' and the 'Christmas Tree Festival' which are run by Hathern Church.

    HVA don't set out to raise money.  Our aim is to purely put on some fantastic events for everyone in Hathern and the surrounding area.  'Hathern Carnival & Village Fete' is a free event and all costs for this are absorbed by HVA. 'Wicked Hathern Fest' costs us around £35,000 to organise and run so the bulk of our money is being absorbed by that.
