Stainsby Festival 2013

Every summer for the past 45 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 19th until Sunday 21st July 2013.
