This summer marks the 25th anniversary of two remarkable crop circles: the Galaxy and the Face & the Message. Both events made headlines and captured the imagination of researchers, photographers, croppies, and curious visitors from around the world. For many, they remain among the most iconic and inspiring crop circles ever discovered.

To mark this occasion, we are organizing the Circle Festival (17–19 July), a unique gathering of researchers, enthusiasts, friends, and newcomers who share a fascination with the phenomenon and the questions it raises.

There will be talks, films, a festival fair, workshops, tours, night watching under the stars, and time to meet both old friends and new ones. Most of all, it will be an opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary phenomenon that has brought so many of us together over the years.

Our hope is that this festival will help bring the community together once again — researchers, experiencers, artists, photographers, scientists, and the simply curious — united by the sense of wonder that the circles continue to inspire.

At the same time, the festival will also serve as a fundraising event to support the Crop Circle Visitor Centre & Exhibition. After welcoming visitors from around the world for many seasons, it now needs restoration, updating, and support to help ensure it can remain open for future generations.

We very much hope you will be able to join us.

Very best wishes, Monique Klinkenbergh
