Sneinton Festival is organised independently of Sneinton Alchemy by a committee of local people which forms each year. This page contains information about the Festival provided by the Festival Committee- it is a way in which Sneinton Alchemy can support the Festival but Alchemy cannot be held responsible for the accuracy of the information here or the running of the events which form part of the Festival. All the glory for this excellent community festival must likewise go to the committee and their fantastic volunteer team.
