Haverhill Town Council has confirmed that its free two-day music festival, Haverhill in the Park, will take place on 15 and 16 August 2026 at Haverhill Recreation Ground in Camps Road, Haverhill, Suffolk. The event aims to bring the community together for a weekend of live entertainment and to support local businesses in the town centre.

Headliners for the weekend include Vicky Jackson performing as P!nk and the band Stereojack, who are billed to play an Ibiza Anthems set. Suffolk News reports the programme will also feature community music groups and several regional bands, with performances using the park’s permanent bandstand.

The festival will be held at Haverhill Recreation Ground and will include local food vendors such as Taquería La Gringa — run by Amanda Marks — which operates from a converted horsebox. The town council’s event publicity lists La Gringa among several caterers expected to serve visitors over the two days.

Town Council records and minutes for the Community Events Working Party show the festival is funded through the council’s community events budget and that the music event is free to enter, reinforcing the council’s aim to boost footfall for shops and pubs in the town centre.
