News regarding the 2021 Indietracks Festival at Midland Railway, Butterley
Announcement From Indietracks
We’re really sad to say that Indietracks will not be going ahead in 2021. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has greatly impacted the Midland Railway-Butterley, where our festival is held, forcing them to close for several months.
While they remain hopeful of re-opening at some point this year, at this point it is not clear when that might be and so we can’t add any extra financial and administrative burden at such a difficult time. The ongoing situation with Covid-19 in the UK and the associated restrictions also means that organising a festival in the UK this summer is a huge financial risk – particularly for a small charity like the Midland Railway Trust.
We hope to run a virtual Indietracks event again this year, to help raise funds for the railway. In the meantime, it would be fantastic if you could please donate to the railway’s appeal to help repair some of the terrible damage caused by recent flooding at the site. There’s some info here: https://www.facebook.com/donate/230155881989594/3935726943124909/
Thanks so much for all your support for the festival and the railway over the years – we really appreciate it and hope that we will see you all again at the railway soon!
