early bird tickets on sale for Nozstock

Early bird tickets are on sale for this year's Nozstock festival which takes place at 17th century farm near Bromyard, in Herefordshire.

Now an established, leading family event in its 13th year, the 5,000 capacity Nozstock offers eight main stages of entertainment, intimate areas of theatre and more. The festival is held at The Farm, in Bromyard, Herefordshire from Friday 29th until Sunday 31st July 2011.

This year’s fancy dress theme is Twisted Carnival, and festival goers are encouraged to dress up.

The festival’s ethos is about bringing play to everyone, in whatever form it can. Nozstock believes in the value of not only entertaining, but in participation and contribution for all ages with activities that little ones can enjoy as well as families.

The festival offers a range of stalls, bars selling cocktails, local ales and ciders, and food outlets plus boutique camping & tipis, and a Supermarche selling all useful supplies for the festival camper. The event offers a range of workshops - free standing, comedy, theatre, arts & crafts, kids, a cinetent, an arts & craft area with sculptures, little Wonderland Kids' Area offering all weekend entertainment for 12s and under, and a chance to jam around the wood fire.

Last year the festival was hit by heavy rain and this year there have been improvements including new roads for easier on and offsite access.

Farmer Pete Noz said, "Chaos at Nozstock this year? No chance! - we've built new roads though the site. There's also going to be a new sound system in the Cubicles and we're going for a full 3 days all at last year's prices. We've had great feedback about our campsite but for those who want to go up market there's boutique camping in bell tents, tipis and of course showers for the dirt-shy.

We're also developing some green plans that we'll announce over the coming weeks. Nozstock is well known for its unique atmosphere and handmade vibe, that won’t change but there's more colour, more to do and more walkabout performance, plus we've decided on a 'Twisted Carnival' theme this year to really get the punters looking lively. So come on down to The Farm and party till the cows come home!"
