The Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival 2026

ASSOCIATE PARTNERS A BIG THANK YOU!

We're delighted to welcome Barnfield Construction back as headline sponsor of the 2026 Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival. A valued partner since 2014, Barnfield has played a vital role in the festival's continued success and growth. This year's partnership is especially fitting as Barnfield celebrates its 50th anniversary alongside the festival's 35th. Based in the North West, Barnfield is recognised for delivering high-quality construction projects across a range of sectors, with a skilled in-house team and a reputation built on expertise, reliability and a genuine commitment to the communities it serves.

Fort Vale Engineering returns as sponsor of The Little Theatre for the 2026 festival. A global leader in precision-engineered valves and fittings, the East Lancashire company shares the festival's commitment to quality, excellence and supporting the local community through world-class partnerships.

Community Rail Lancashire continues to support the Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival by helping promote the 2026 event at stations across the county. Their partnership encourages more visitors to discover Colne, enjoy the festival and explore everything Lancashire has to offer, making travelling by train an easy and sustainable way to experience the weekend.
