The countdown is on for the much-loved Ranskill & Torworth Festival 2026, which returns on Saturday 13th June at Ranskill Park, kicking off at 1pm.This popular community event promises a fun-filled afternoon for all ages, with a lively programme of entertainment running throughout the day. Visitors can enjoy live music from a brass band, a cheerleading performance, a school choir, and a dance display from a local dance school. Traditional favourites such as children’s races will also be back, alongside plenty of games and activities to keep younger visitors entertained.
There will be a fantastic range of stalls on offer, showcasing local businesses and community groups. Among those attending are Bunnies Bakes, Flowers by Kay, jewellery and stationery stalls, and a dedicated plant stall. Local organisations including the Scouts, Rainbows, Brownies, WI and Ranskill Bowls Club will be joining in the fun, offering games, ice cream, and a classic tombola.
Families can also look forward to go-karts, inflatables, and even a visit from a fire engine (emergencies permitting!), as well as face painting and other children’s attractions.
No festival would be complete without great food and drink, and this year is no exception. Visitors can enjoy a hog roast, pizza vendors, and a licensed bar run by the Blue Bell at Ranskill, with a cake and coffee stall also planned.
The event is proudly supported by Brightgreen Spinal Health, whose sponsorship plays a vital role in making the festival possible. Organising an event of this size involves significant costs, including licences, waste management, toilets, PA systems, generators, and coordination with local authorities, and this support is hugely appreciated. Ranskill Parish Council has also kindly funded two event shelters, providing space for visitors to relax and enjoy the day.
Organisers are still keen to hear from anyone who would like to get involved, whether by volunteering, donating raffle prizes, or contributing plants for the plant stall.
With strong community backing and a great line-up planned, this year’s festival is shaping up to be another wonderful day for Ranskill and Torworth.
