Fancy-dress

Standon Calling has not yet unveiled the theme which will take over the festival site with interactive theatre, art installations and costumes.

On site

There are numerous stages and the odd unexpected stage appearing from nowhere. The festival boasts a number of bars, one of which is hewn out of an enormous oak tree, secret areas, interactive theatre, swimming pool (with underwater dance area), boutique camping (beach huts, yurts and tipis), kids area.

Standon Calling is also going big on food and drink, and includes the opportunity for 'Sunday Lunch & Jazz On The Lawn', and a real ale festival, amongst many other things.

Ethos

The organisers are trying to make this festival as ethical and green as possible, recycling all and sundry and sourcing locally where possible and they are raising money for charity too.

More information will be here when available.
