With entertainment for the whole family, the festival has plenty for everyone. The JR’s Children’s field has an array of events taking place throughout each day and into the early evening, with story-telling, crafting, creepy crawlies, discos and tons more for toddlers upwards. There’s even an area for the really tiny ones to enjoy themselves, all within sight of the main stage, so you won’t miss any of the bands as your young ones play. New this year is the Busk Stop, situated just outside the main gate it will be a chance to hear some of the bands who have play in the acoustic stage, and maybe even some from the main stage as they return to their busking roots.
The Performing Arts Stage has everything from dance workshops and comedy to drum lessons and recycled art. Frank Morris brings his unique, vibrant magical art to the festival and The Norwich Swing Dance Collective will have your twirling around the tent. In the evening the tent transforms into the Dance Tent with DJ’s playing everything from Disco, Motown, Soul, and the Cheesiest of Happy House. The Healing fields have Holistic Healers on hand to sooth away aches and pains and the Vets, for all your pet related questions. There's stalls in the market, a funfair, an inflatable slide, and on Sunday the men are encouraged to don a dress again for ladies day and ladies, this year it’s all about hats and hair for you.
Tickets are on sale, currently priced at £40 for the weekend (camping £10 extra), or £15 for a day ticket.
