Gosport Sunset Fesitval started as a small idea. Originally the idea was to put on a free, music event for local people to enjoy. The focus was to design a ddiverse free event to bring people together and transport them to another place. A mini Glastonbury if you like, right on the doorstep of Gosport and affordable to everyone.
After the lockdowns we felt it was important to get people out in the fresh air, trying activities and food that were new to them, mixing with pther people in a friendly, carnival atmosphere.
The first year was very successful, with lots of people enjoying themselves. Although we had 16000 wonderful people and supported local businesses and charity organisations we just about broke even. As you can imagine the upfront costs are massive, so raising a little bit of money will help enormously.
This year the event is back bigger and better. We want to ensure the future if the festival and also raise some money for our chosen charity, the local foodbanks of Gosport.
