Celebrating 10 Years of SlackFest: A Community Legacy in Motion

It’s hard to believe that SlackFest is celebrating its 10th year! What started as the brainchild of Mr. Jack Fearon has grown into a unique and vibrant celebration of balance, skill, and community spirit. Jack has been at the heart of every event since its inception, nurturing the festival as it evolved and flourished over the years.

With seven incredible events under our belt, each one has brought something fresh and exciting to the mix. After four hugely successful events, in 2022 SlackFest pivoted to World Juggling Day, marking a turning point with a stunning collaboration in the new normal that brought in help from local Northwich Juggling Club. Since then, the festival has grown to feature a beautiful purple big top, a professional yet accessible aerial rig run by the wonderful Barnton Circus, and more slacklines than ever before.

As we celebrate this milestone, we’re already dreaming about the next chapter. What would you like to see at SlackFest? We invite you to get involved and help shape the future of this extraordinary event. SlackFest isn’t just an event; it’s a reflection of our collective creativity and passion—a celebration by the community, for the community.
