Our 2021 'Line-up of Headliners'

We’re really excited that so many of our 2020 line-up are joining us this year, in what for many of them will be their first festival performance since 2019!

Welcome to our Festival

From the intimacy of our Acorn Stage to the open air festival buzz of our Main Stage, we will bring you award winning musicians and inspiring new talent in one memorable day.

Our carefully curated stages are complemented by our lovingly hand-picked caterers and craftspeople. For our younger 'Folk by the Oakers' we have a world of creative workshops to discover onsite as well as our dedicated family friendly area.
