Stainsby Festival '12

Every summer for the past 44 years, this tiny hamlet comes alive to the sound of live music. Held in colourful marquees on a greenfield site at Brunt's Farm, there are stunning views across the valley to the National Trust's Hardwick Hall.

Run by unpaid volunteers as a not-for-profit charity, all the money goes back into the music and nowhere else. The dates for 2012 are confirmed as from Friday 20th until Sunday 22nd July.

Line-up

The first acts confirmed are Dizraeli and the Small Gods, Steve Tilston, Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer, Blair Dunlop, Jess Morgan, Lisa Ambrose, Kangaroo Moon, Roger Wilson, Praying for The Rain, This is the Kit, The Female Thief, and Red River Dialect.
