This activity is not going ahead >>> SATURDAY @ THE BIG FEAST CANCELLED <<<

We’re incredibly sorry to share that, due to the weather conditions, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel Saturday’s Big Feast programme, with the exception of Tender Exchange at The Potteries Centre, which will still go ahead as planned.

The safety and wellbeing of our artists, audiences, volunteers and team has to come first. With the conditions we’re facing today, we’re sadly unable to deliver the festival programme safely.

We know how disappointing this will be for everyone who was planning to join us today – and we’re gutted too. An enormous amount of work, care and creativity has gone into bringing this weekend to life.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday, and to all of the artists, volunteers, partners, crew and team who have worked so hard to make The Big Feast happen.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
