The festival will be jam packed and full of exciting activities, performances, workshops, and local food vendors to keep the whole family entertained.

There are a fantastic array of performances coming to the #MillfieldFest23 mainstage this year, including some who you might recognise from last year’s spectacular line up.

From local cultural dance performances to nationally toured comedy shows, this year’s Millfield Festival truly has something for everyone.

Mandinga Arts are returning to close out #MillfieldFest23 with Millfield’s very own Jungle themed mini carnival, chocked full of colourful costumes and beautiful West African music from Koreleko.

There will also be a dedicated Karaoke tent, a sports area with free taster sports sessions, the Millfield Makers tents with free arts and crafts, and a henna and face-painting tent to get yourself carnival ready.

Many of the craft activities and performances will be made up of local Millfield residents and volunteers.

The organisiers, Peterborough Presents works with communities and artists across the city to create art.

They says : “It would be impossible for us to bring Millfield Festival back year after year without the continued support of the local community, who we hope to celebrate and inspire with the festival.

“Peterborough Presents have been delivering the annual Millfield Festival for the past six years, with five of those years at New England Rec.”

Peterborough Presents programme director, Sarah Haythornthwaite added: “Millfield Festival is something we always look forward to bringing back every year because of how much people love it!

"There are so many fantastic and talented performers and makers that are part of this year's festival. It’s going to be a great day that you won’t want to miss.
