Returning to the charming village green of Ickleford on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 August 2025—as part of the August Bank Holiday weekend—Icklefest 2025 delivered delight for all ages with music, food, and fun galore .

This year's festival offered something for every taste: live music, street food and BBQ, craft stalls, and classic British treats like fish & chips, ice‑cream, and café coffee to savour . For the competitive at heart, Ickleford's Strongest Man challenged the bravest, while a bouncy castle, raffle, tombola, and charity stalls kept youngsters and families entertained .

The festival's charm extended to quirky features and timeless joys: sit back on hay bales beneath bunting‑draped trees, enjoy community spirit, and chip in at the Icklefest Beer Festival hosted by The Plume of Feathers—pouring rare ales, ciders, and tasty non‑alcoholic drinks
