Could this be the best kept secret in the small festival world?
Set on farmland in the glorious Shropshire countryside, it has all the hallmarks of a perfect little festival: real campfires, circus tent (courtesy of Panic Circus), storytelling, craft tent, puppet shows, fancy dress, workshops, spacious camping, comedy, open mic, discussions, 40+ bands, an acoustic stage and of course a main stage.
One of the biggest attractions for many is that you can camp for a whole week when you purchase a weekend ticket, meaning you can explore the beautiful walks around the farm in the days before the main dancing and merriment begins.
Firewood can be bought at the festival.
Plenty of space for both wild outdoor play and quiet reflection and meditation.
Quiet Family Camping (on the flat), flush toilets, yurts and tipis, and you can park by your tent…
Great line up.
hi
Looking to attend from Wednesday 12th with 9 year old grandson.
he is computer obsessed so I am hoping there is enough going on to take his mind off technology!
i am 52 and adored camping with my kids.
See you all soon

It’s our 6th year, love it! Great place for children of all ages and adults alike.
Wouldn’t miss the full week for the world!
We’re busy gearing up for our 17th year!
This years dates are 14/15/16th August.
Lots going on but once again we welcome back Panic Circus…we’ve also just confirmed that JunkFish will be coming on board for our kids entertainment this year!
As it says above the site is open for camping all week so before the festival fun begins on the Thursday (13th) we’ve booked a very special visit from The Exotic Zoo.
