Fantastic Festival Weekend

What an amazing Bank Holiday weekend at the Audlem Music & Arts Festival. This year must have attracted the largest crowds ever, helped by superb weather from Saturday to Monday.

Congratulations to the amazingly hard working Festival team and all their helpers – they must be exhausted this morning but can rest in the glow of a hugely successful event.

The numbers camping here was a revelation. Chatting to some of the visitors, they just loved the atmosphere and the great music laid on – and all for free!

It's free because of the generous support of so many businesses and organisations. Just glance through the programme – the Festival committee may make it all happens but it's the sponsors and advertisers who pay for the event.

The main sponsors were:

• KMF Sheet Precision Metal, a great engineering company based in the Potteries
• MorrisCare who run the excellent Corbrook Park near Audlem
• Hibberts Solicitors, the best known local firm for anything legal
• United Carpets, the famous carpet retailer in Crewe

The organisations were ADAS; Audlem Parish Council; Cheshire East Council and Leasepoint.

As the comperes on the stages were urging throughout, do support the companies advertising in the Festival programme. They support Audlem and they will prosper if we all support them.
