Spondon Village Festival is a self-sustaining, not-for-profit event. Our aim is to keep all charges to an absolute minimum to simply ensure that we have the funds to cover the cost of putting on the Festival. Beyond the small entrance fee, we work hard to ensure that as many of the activities and attractions at the Festival are free and that any charges (for things such as food, drinks, funfair rides etc) are at a very reasonable level to ensure a low cost event for all the family to enjoy.
