Dear Meadowers,
It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce that Meadows in the Mountains 2020 will be postponed to 2021, due to the impact of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
We have been monitoring events closely over the last few weeks, hoping and praying that there was a chance for life to return to normal come June. However, it has become devastatingly clear that local governments and international restrictions on travel and large gatherings will continue for some months to come, leaving us with no choice but to make this difficult decision.
We will be postponing our milestone 10th birthday to June 3rd-6th 2021.
An additional overwhelming concern for us is the health and wellbeing of the largely ageing population of the village and surrounding community, which we cannot foresee safeguarding responsibly as it stands.
Meadows in the Mountains is a small independent community with no corporate investment or sponsors – we are and always have been entirely funded by ticket sales.
Since June 2019, we have been curating the dream: four days of Meadows magic. In turn, we have had to commit and pay for a great many things to get the wheels in motion for our 10th chapter.
For this reason, it is not financially possible for us to offer refunds on what you have purchased for this year.
The festival would totally collapse as a result, and we would cease to exist indefinitely.
We totally appreciate that this will be frustrating for some of you, but rest assured that all purchases (ticket, accommodation, transfer, or otherwise) for 2020 will be valid for 2021.
All bookings will automatically be transferred to 2021 so no action will be required on your part.
You will be able to sell/transfer anything you have purchased, and we will process a name change for you free of charge – there is no time limit on this option.
If you have an outstanding deposit payment for which the deadline has passed, we will extend the deadline for these payments to 31st December 2020, after which those products will be cancelled and re-sold to other Meadowers.
We are now focusing all of our efforts over the next 14 months to truly bring this one home! We will use this time wisely and reflect on how we can all come back from this positively, with our hearts and minds in the right place.
Amidst the chaos come blessings of respite for the environment, which we hope will carry on as a larger consideration when this is all over. We will continually strive to contribute to this as an organization and know you, as our wider family, will too.
The warm, open minded people who come to Meadows have made the festival what it is today. You are the reason we have poured our blood, sweat and tears into making it happen for the last decade.
We appreciate your support more than ever at this juncture, and look forward to being reunited next year.
If you have any questions or queries, or for ticket name changes, you can reach out to us at info@meadowsinthemountains.com
Stay home, stay safe!
All our love
