Together Festival 2020 update

Hello to all of our wonderful Together friends and family!

Firstly, we want to send our LOVE to you all in these strange and sometimes worrying times.
We’re sorry not to have been in touch sooner, it's been such a tough call to make, but we've decided we have to postpone Together until 6-8 August 2021.

But don't despair! Our plan is to still have a virtual gathering over the same weekend (31st July – 2nd August), filled with as much fun and games as we can, to give our performers a chance to play for you, and us all chance to party!

It will be hosted by our kind, generous and talented friends at Purple Radio and we will encourage Togetherists to listen, dance, play, donate, get involved online to help the kids in Uganda who need your support now more than ever.

The current situation means going ahead with Together 2020 holds too many risks for us:
♥️ To your health and the health of volunteers who work so hard to put on an amazing party that also has a huge social impact
♥️ The closer we get to the event date the more £ we risk in commitment to suppliers if we can’t go ahead
♥️ If we go ahead with a reduced crowd, we not only risk losing £, but we also don't make the most of the huge efforts and goodwill that you all contribute to help us make it happen and could impact on our ability to hold more Together parties in the future.

Obviously we are completely gutted, but we know this is the right thing to do at this time and guarantee we can come back with a bang in 2021.

We’ve answered all your burning questions about tickets here.

We'll be in touch very soon with news on how we plan to celebrate 'Together at home' with you from the 31st July - 2nd of August.

Love and peace

Emma, Steve and everyone at Together xxx
