The Swadlincote Charity Family Fun Day will take place on August 8, 2026, in Swadlincote, Derbyshire. The event is being held at the Gresley Old Hall Community Welfare Centre to raise money for local causes.
Organisers Laura and Tamsin confirmed the date early to allow residents and businesses plenty of time to plan for the summer. The day will feature a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, including a dog show, craft stalls, and live music.
Children and families can also look forward to inflatables and visits from special characters throughout the afternoon. Since it was first held in 2024, the event has become a popular local fixture, with the first year attracting around 3,000 visitors to the town.
This is one of three major charity events already set for the 2026 season, while a fourth is currently being planned. Updates and opportunities for stallholders are shared through the Swadlincote and Surrounding Villages Community Group.
Local businesses and volunteers are invited to get involved now to help build on the success of previous years. The organisers hope the early notice will help people include the event in their summer schedules and boost local fundraising efforts.
