About Us

At the end of 2023, Fandangos was thrilled to purchase WrdeUp from WrdeUp Music Festival, the dedicated team that started and ran this fantastic event for the past 10 years. We were incredibly excited to take over the reins of this key town-wide festival for the people of Highworth and beyond, aiming to build on its strong foundation.

In 2024, we proudly hosted our first WrdeUp Festival and are so grateful for the support we received from the local community and all those who attended. It was an exciting challenge, and we worked hard to deliver much of the event in-house, staying true to our vision of growing the festival into a more self-sustainable and financially secure event. We’re committed to ensuring that WrdeUp has many more successful years ahead, serving as a highlight for the town and its visitors.

As we now look ahead to 2025, we’re eager to continue enhancing the festival experience. We’re already deep in preparations and can’t wait to share new ideas, performances, and experiences with you. A huge thanks again to the original committee, who spent 10 years shaping WrdeUp into the vibrant, beloved event it is today—we’re honored to add to the fantastic environment they created.
