Set in the heart of The National Forest, this multi award winning independent family festival returns for its 14th year on 25th – 28th May 2023. Cherished for its intimate, idyllic location, grassroots ethos and miscellany of musical offerings, the festival has become a sanctity for alternative music lovers across the country and for the local community alike.

Having in 2022 welcomed headliners Placebo, Patti Smith and The Flaming Lips, today organisers are so excited to announce the first wave of names for the 2023 line-up, including, New York rockers INTERPOL, Scottish heroes PRIMAL SCREAM, self-proclaimed gypsy-swing punk rockers GOGOL BORDELLO, one of synth pop’s founding fathers GARY NUMAN, seven-piece Celtic-punks FLOGGING MOLLY and post-punk paragons ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN, served alongside some of the best up-and-coming names in the world, such as VIAGRA BOYS, YARD ACT, PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS, SHE DREW THE GUN, THE BETHS and THE MYSTERINES.

This year also sees the addition of a brand-new Big Top Stage in the main arena, accompanying the main Pallet Stage and beautiful Woodland Stage tucked between the trees. This latest addition gives festival-goers the opportunity to hear more music from more artists, in more places than ever before, alongside returning fan-favourite stages Magical Sounds, Maui Waui, Convoy Cabaret, The Something Else Tea Tent, and The Magic Teapot. Also returning once again, hidden away in the midst of the festival site is the Rogues Hideout, the area especially created for the teenage Bearded goers! In the day time it’s an amazing area for activities and workshops, but by night is a banging DJ and live music venue with up and coming DJs from all over.
