Welcome to the new website for 2012

CHIC ft Nile Rodgers/ THE CHARLATANS/ INNER CITY/ SUMMER CAMP/STUART MACONIE/ JON RONSON/ BACK2BASICS/ BENJAMIN FRANCIS LEFTWICH/ LUCY ROSE/ CHEW LIPS/ SMOOVE AND TURELL/ CASHIER No 9/ JUAN ZELADA/ JENNY O/ MARY EPWORTH/ LETS BUY HAPPINESS/ THE LOOSE SALUTE and 10 more performers to be confirmed soon.

So, we return for our third year with three headliners and an increasingly enticing programme of music and arts. A proper boutique festival where you get the chance to see arena filling acts in an intimate setting. Take a look in the performers section, where we now have four distinct stages. Whether its big and breaking artists on the main stage, top DJ’s in the superclub, fringe theatre in the forest or the inspiring spoken word tent, where you now get the chance to have your say. So come and join us for a credible mix of avante pop, fringe cabaret, inspiring speakers, thought provoking cinema and fine food, all set in the spectacular grounds of Broughton Hall.

We were short listed for best new festival in 2008 and best grass roots festival in 2011. We consider ourselves to be one of the most imaginative festivals in the north and the ultimate escape to the country for those in the know.
