Not so 'Little' Glastonboro!

What a success our long awaited 2022 Little Glastonboro has been.

We simply can't thank every person enough who came, all 1,000 of you! You created an ambience which we could only have dreamt of. From start to finish the energy from the guests/performers/staff was absolutely top notch, this was carried on throughout the entirety of the day and we are incredibly grateful.

A special thank you to each performer:

Arctic Frost

Love Generation

Disney Duo

Between The Vines

Manchester SKA

Chasing Mumford

Boomin

ABBA Sensation

And thank you to everyone else who made the day what it was, including the food stalls, the marshals, The Cricket Club for providing us with a great location and fabulous volunteers and to the What's occurrin' Rochdale Team for all their incredible hard-work they put into creating such a brilliant event.

Despite the torrential rain causing a stampede to the nearest cover, the night still ended on a high thanks to the special ABBA sensation keeping the crowd going (mixed with a little liquid courage), it could not have been planned any better.
