This year, the festival is hosting 27 acts over two days, with continuous music alternating between two indoor stages to keep music fans entertained.

“It is a small festival with a friendly atmosphere that draws acts from all over the country - Saturday’s headliners are Ushti Baba, a Bristol-based band meshing European folk with jungle, drum n bass and dubstep rhythm. We are also featuring local bands such as the very talented Arcadia Roots with their haunting and driving rhythms.

“Good food and quality beers and ciders will be in plentiful supply.”
