Jamie Murray, Artistic Director of Doune the Rabbit Hole, said: "I'm so excited about all the things going on for Doune the Rabbit Hole in 2017, it's hard to know where to start!There's an incredible set of artists lined up - Songhoy Blues have already completely rocked Glastonbury and the 6 Music Festival, I can't wait for them to come up to Doune and get us all bouncing too.

Aside from all the amazing bands we've managed to create a massive domed resonation chamber that our artists (and you!) will be able to experiment in throughout the weekend as well as a whole ream of activities too, from wild swimming to axe-throwing competitions, to knitting and crocheting.There'll be some great local ale and cider at the bar from the likes of Williams Bros Brewery and Thistly Cross, not to mention the delicious food - from a venison burger to vegan haggis, neeps and tatties - you'll be well catered for at DTRH.”

The festival includes a multitude of kids and family events and activities, with arts, crafts and workshops (and most importantly the family camping area is quietly sited away form the hurly burly of the late night events). It's also one of the UK's few dog-friendly festivals.

Weekend tickets are priced at £125, a child (aged 13-15 years) ticket is priced at £45, a child (aged 6-12 years) ticket is priced at £21, and children aged under 5 years tickets are £3. Day tickets are also available.
