Hop Farm is set in 400 acres of unspoilt Kent countryside, and was once a working and now one of Kent's most popular tourist attractions in the Garden of England. This event organised by Vince Power has no VIP area, so everyone has the same experience, there's no registration, no sponsorship, and no branding.

The Hop Farm Festival will also offer a funfair, celebrity football, great food and ales. Campers are able to camp on Friday and Saturday night, with gates opening at 2pm Friday and closing noon on Sunday.
