We're excited to announce our Festival highlights and to share with you some of the wonderful artists and events we have as part of our Festival programme.

We are proud to welcome the legendary Smokie to the Festival in the Field Marquee on Wednesday 27 June. Originally hailing from Bradford, the band continues to play sell out tours around the globe and have sold over 25 million albums worldwide.

Friday Night's Party Night!! On Friday 29 June we are presenting a unique and exciting performance by the British Electric Foundation, the brain child of Martyn Ware (The Human League and Heaven 17). It features a stellar line-up of the full Heaven 17 band and special guests including: Peter Hooton (The Farm), Glen Matlock (The Sex Pistols), Jaki Graham, Mari Wilson and Glenn Gregory from Heaven 17.

And of course no party night would be complete without our resident DJ!

On Saturday 30 June we are introducing our Festival in the Field Day from 12 noon until 11pm. This will be a whole day of fun for all the family featuring a fabulous mix of music with bands from all over the country, food and drink, magic and excellent entertainment. All topped off by a showstopping performance by The Fratellis who will be bringing their thrilling mix of razor- sharp guitar riffs, air-punching piano stabs, falsetto vocals and melodies you could hang your coat on to the Marquee.
