HIPPFEST 2020 UPDATE
On 13 March we took the tough decision to postpone the 10th-anniversary edition of the Hippodrome Silent Film Festival (HippFest) and reschedule to 23 - 25 October.
Since then, the outlook for events for the rest of the year has changed dramatically and, with the First Minister’s statement of 23 April anticipating that social distancing and limiting our contacts with others to reduce the spread of COVID-19 will last much longer than we had initially thought, we regret to announce that we are now unable to go ahead with a scaled-down HippFest in October.
We know this will be disappointing for all our audiences, supporters, partners, artists, guests, volunteers and staff and, in the hope that the new normal allows us to, we look forward to welcoming everyone back to HippFest in March 2021.
The dates planned for 2021 are 17-21 March.
