Drumroll please... after much deliberation Elderflower Fields have been announced as this year's ID&C Grass Roots Festival Bursary winners!

The response this year has been overwhelming and we have been truly humbled and inspired by the efforts each event goes to to make their festival a success.

Family friendly Elderflower Fields scooped the £2500 prize after wowing us with their green commitments and huge community effort, which includes teaming up with The Real Junk Food Project who save any leftover food from landfill.

Organiser, Stuart Balkham said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for us, not only does it enable money to be invested in other areas of the festival, but the ability to upgrade our wristbands will undoubtedly improve security too.”

He added, “It really feels like the icing on the cake for us to be able to provide customers and crew with lovely fabric wristbands, adding a touch of quality to the festival goers’ experience.”

This time of year is always busy for festival organisers and we'd like to thank all of those who applied wishing them the best of luck with their events this summer.
