In celebration of all things Westcountry, the festival which takes place near the village of Sixpenny Handley in the green open setting of Cranborne Chase, Dorset has also today announced Scrumpy Sunday, hosted by Dorset band Who's Afear'd.

Scrumpy Sunday will take place on the third stage, (which is now situated in the Wig-on Casino) on the Sunday afternoon. Expect traditional Scrumpy (none of they fizzy nonsense), great bands with which to drink a drop of the golden stuff, drink awareness schemes, and plenty of off the wall comedy action from the hosts. This also coincides with the festival's now traditional Ladies Day which is a chance to dress up in a pretty frock, drink scrumpy and no-one bat an eyelid. The two events go hand in hand!

Endorse-It In-Dorset held from Friday 7th to Sunday 9th August has a line-up that includes a mixture of ska, dub, punk and more. The confirmed acts include Pronghorn, Zion Train, Sham 69, Attila the Stockbroker, Inner Terrestrials, The Powersteppers feat Molara, Tofu Love Frogs, SixNationState, The Highliners, Farmageddon, Toupe, Flipron, Eat Static, Cash Converted, Subgiant, Guns of Navarone, Hobo Jones & TJD, The Boot Hill All Stars, Cracked Actors, Tragic Roundabout, and more.
