Because we couldn’t do what we do, without our small but mighty crew ✊

Rod Fairclough

Introducing one of our founders, Jess’ Dad, Rod Fairclough 🪩🕺✨

The disco dancing, ABBA loving, dad-joking driving force of the festival has sailed us through Good Times™️ in many a grassy field. Usually sporting a funky legging and a carefully coiffed mohawk, he is known to keep spiders on his person 🕷️

Tracy Fairclough

The vision behind the vision - meet Tracy Fairclough, the heart of Jesstival.

When she’s not on the hunt for plastic spiders that Rod has mischievously hidden around the site, she is channeling her boundless commitment and compassion into supporting families facing tough times.

Drawing from her own experiences and fuelled by her love for Jess, Tracy has fiercely dedicated herself to creating a kaleidoscopic celebration of Jess’s zest for music, mayhem, and communal shenanigans, ensuring that every moment of the festival is not just a party, but an all-out extravaganza of love, camaraderie and always a touch of whimsy.
