Rhythm Festival offers live music and comedy across four stages, with a stronger than ever children’s line-up and more street theatre for 2010. Capacity is limited to under 5,000, so there’s no danger of getting lost in the crowd.

Held in the gorgeous Bedfordshire countryside – yet less than four miles from Bedford town centre and railway station – Rhythm Festival takes place at Twinwood Arena, a 'semi-permanent' festival site that includes flush toilets (augmented by portaloos), and proper roads and paths. The arena is a drained grass-covered ampitheatre, with a backdrop of ancient woodland.

Any efesters who are looking for another fest to attend---- def consider this one. Small to medium and very family friendly with decent facilities.

Set in a great natural arena, the venue is ideal---not too far to get into the place from where you camp.

We`ve had really good time every year and theres always a decent cross section of bands spread over a few stages.

Well worth going... good value too.
