Our Supporters
The Phoenix Festival first took to the stage in 2013, in the beautiful historic setting of The Abbey Grounds, in central Cirencester.
The Phoenix Festival continues to grow and evolve and is now attended regularly by around 15,000 people each year. It now boasts an extensive line-up on two main stages with over 40 acts, an ever popular performance arena, creative and wellbeing zone and is supplemented by good food, great drink and the exceptional vibe of the great people of Cirencester
The Phoenix Festival continues to develop with the great help and enthusiasm that our young volunteers bring with them to support the festival as they work alongside experts in the fields of event management, finance, engineering and other important roles. It is an all-inclusive event for all ages and all sectors of the society, using music to bring people together in a celebration of the strength of our Cotswold community.
The festival was initially the amazing creative idea of the Ozone Youth Partnership in Cirencester and is supported by Cirencester Town Council and Cirencester Community Development Trust and LOADS of volunteers! We still enjoy great support from the young people at Ozone and enjoy watching them develop their skills whilst working with us.
Cirencester’s award winning Phoenix Festival is a great example of community partnerships in action:
