The Big Olney Food Festival has been a cherished tradition in our community for over 15 years. As a not-for-profit food and music festival, we strive to create a safe and enjoyable annual event that brings people together while raising vital funds for charity. Each year, we work hard to cover the upfront costs of the next festival, ensuring that any surplus is shared among our nominated charities.

This year, we are proud to support Ailsa's Aim, an incredible local charity dedicated to providing support and care packs to individuals and families facing a cancer diagnosis or with babies in neonatal care. Their mission resonates deeply with us, and we are committed to making a difference in the lives of those who need it most. We will also be supporting Friends of Olney Infant Academy.

However, as costs continue to rise, maintaining a free entry event becomes increasingly challenging. We believe that if each visitor could contribute just one pound, it would significantly help us sustain this beloved festival while ensuring that we can make substantial charitable donations at the end of the event. Last year alone, we were able to donate over £5,000!

We invite you to join us in this mission by supporting our JustGiving page. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and completely secure. Your details will remain safe with them—they will never sell your information or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, we will withdraw funds directly; it's the most efficient way to contribute and helps us save time and costs.

Together, let’s keep this wonderful tradition alive while making a positive impact on our community!
