One of our proudest achievements is Retfest, a comedy festival held annually in Retford. Now in its Fifth year, Retfest has become a highlight on the entertainment calendar, captivating audiences with its diverse line-up of comedic talent and vibrant atmosphere.

This year we are looking at a single day, mainly due to unforeseen circumstances. However it does not stop us from putting on some great comedy talent.

What began as a small, local event has blossomed into a premier festival, attracting talent and audiences from all corners of the globe. Retfest, now in its fourth year, spans eleven different pubs around Retford, creating a vibrant and intimate atmosphere where laughter echoes through the streets. The festival showcases an eclectic mix of comedians, from emerging talents to seasoned professionals, ensuring a diverse and engaging lineup that caters to all tastes. Thanks to the dedication of Mike Barker and the support of the local community, Retfest has become a cornerstone of the Retford entertainment scene, celebrating the spirit of comedy and bringing people together through humor.
