Event organiser, Max Eden spoke if his excitement ahead of the event: “We were overwhelmed by the response of our inaugural Party At Home event, not only did we have our dedicated locals tuning in, but we had supporters from across the UK and beyond, a massive 30,000 people.  It was such a success that we want to continue our virtual festival for another weekend.

“We are still holding out for our main festival to take place in the summer as planned and will continue to follow closely the government advice and I’m so grateful for the support from artists, sponsors, partners and the community for their support. I hope we can have an even bigger success this time around and raise vital funds for vital community projects in the process.”
