Hollyfest 2026 – Top 10 Tips

Posted on 21 June 2026

Hollyfest 2025 at dusk.
The stage and crowd at Hollyfest 2025 in the early evening.

Make the most of your day at Hollyfest with these handy tips!

  1. Arrive early
    The gates open at 1:45pm, with the event officially starting at 2:00pm. Arriving early gives you time to get in, grab a programme and be ready for the opening performances which will start promptly on stage at 2:00pm.
  2. Have your tickets ready
    We listened to your feedback and have streamlined how we’ll operate the entry process. Please have your ticket QR code open on your phone (or bring a printed copy) before you reach the entrance to help everyone get in quickly. Tickets will be available to purchase on the gate.
    • If you’ve already purchased your raffle tickets online, just head to the Information Stall to pick them up!
  1. Bring your Hollyfest cup
    Got a reusable Hollyfest cup from previous years? Bring it along! You’ll save yourself from buying a new one at the bar and help us keep things green. We’re committed to avoiding using disposable cups and cutting down on waste where we can.
  2. Pack a refillable water bottle
    Free drinking water refill stations will be available throughout the event, so stay hydrated and help reduce single-use plastic.
  3. Leave the cash at home
    Hollyfest is a cashless event. Card and contactless payments will be accepted across the festival.
  4. Check the programme
    Pick up a programme or scan the event QR code to see performance times, activities, food stalls and everything happening throughout the afternoon.
  5. Bring a picnic blanket or camping chairs
    There’ll be plenty to watch, so make yourself comfortable while enjoying the entertainment.
  6. Dress for the British weather
    Hopefully it’ll be sunshine all afternoon, but it’s always worth bringing suncream, hats… and perhaps a light waterproof, just in case!
  7. Get involved
    Come along and try something new! Browse our fantastic local stalls, watch the older kids take on the inflatables, or keep the little ones busy with crafting in the Kids Zone. Make sure to enter the raffle and cheer on our talented performers – every pound you spend goes toward supporting Hollyfield students. 
  8. Relax and enjoy yourself!
    Hollyfest is all about bringing our school community together. Spend time with friends, make new memories and have a fantastic afternoon.

Thank you for supporting Hollyfield PTA – every ticket, raffle entry, burger and drink helps us raise money for projects that benefit our students. Have a brilliant Hollyfest 2026!

Hollyfest 2025 fireworks finale

We hope everyone who came to Hollyfest had a brilliant time! The school truly have a special dedication to our students and their opportunities to perform by staging such a unique event. Thank you to Ms Neville, Mr Cooke and the team for putting together such an amazing programme of performances.

From bouncy castles to BBQs, sweet treats to sensational stage acts – it was a day full of fun, and it simply wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing volunteers.

Over 100 parents and carers gave their time to help bring Hollyfest to life, volunteering for more than 150 shifts and donating hundreds of hours in the lead-up and on the day itself. Whether you were putting up gazebos, flipping burgers, selling raffle tickets or running a stall – thank you. Your energy, time, and generosity made all the difference.

We’d also like to thank Mr Griffiths and the amazing premises team that supported us throughout and go above and beyond every time.

If you had a great time and would like to support future events, please consider making a donation to the PTA. Every penny goes towards enriching the school experience for our children.

👉 Donate here!

Thank you once again – we couldn’t do it without you!
