Festival returns: the 2024 Purley Festival is being staged in Rotary Field on Sep 7 and 8
The Purley Festival is set return to Rotary Field in September, promising “a wonderful celebration of fun, talent and community”.
The weekend’s focal point will be a live music stage with local bands and tribute acts throughout the two days – September 7 and 8.
From Saturday midday until 8pm and Sunday 11am until 6pm, people will be able to enjoy live music, food and drink stalls and an incredible atmosphere for all the family, the organisers – Purley BID – say.
There will be an array of activities for children, including face painting, a bouncy castle, circus skills and a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.
Trush Patel from the Jolly Farmers pub, is particularly keen to see the festival return. “As the Jolly’s is all about food, drink and great live music, we are eager to support Purley Festival again and looking forward to helping bring the festival vibes back into Purley for the weekend.”
Part of the festival’s proceeds will go towards supporting local charities and community projects. “The Purley Festival is not just about entertainment. It’s a platform for community engagement, to promote local talent and community spirit, and to create a space where everyone feels welcomed and celebrated,” say the organisers, whose sponsors include local estate agents.
