Like a flash of lightning, the Larkhall Festival is over. From the organising committee, we want to give a big THANK YOU to our beloved Larkhall shopkeepers, vendors, artists, those who opened their fantastic gardens, performers, dancers, musicians, sponsors, and to every person who came to the festival, volunteered, or in any other way supported us. It is not an easy feat to put on this event and do it safely but we do it with happy hearts because we recognise that Larkhall is a special community and we love bringing everyone together.
Have a lovely summer and see you in 2024!
