It’s exactly two weeks until the music starts!
For early risers, we’ll be opening the arena from 8am this year to weekend season ticket holders. There are breakfasts available plus some morning activities including yoga, Folk Orc workshops and informal ‘Meet the Artist’ sessions and workshops with the likes of Wizz Jones. This does not include Thursday morning, so those arriving on Wednesday can have a lie in after our free concert at The Wickham Centre or having a drink at the festival bars which will be open on Wednesday evening whilst we finish off the site build.
With just over 2 weeks until everything gets going we’ve just updated all are line up and artist pages to give stage times for artists appearing on our All Time Grates Stage and Hapi Festival Stage. The headliners for The All Time Grates Stage are KT Tunstall, 10CC, Show of Hands, The Levellers and The Peatbog Faeries.
