As well as a huge lineup of music, the festival promises a whole load of entertainment including Arcadia’s Alchemist Playground as well as The Woodland Tribe which will be on hand to help build a playground out of reclaimed materials.

New for 2023, Elly Phunk, will offer DJ lessons for kids and teens and there will be eco-bubble making and Junkfish inflatables for the little ones.

The Lord of Lightning will also return, shooting multi-million-volt bolts of electricity from his body.

Luke Hasell, festival founder says: ‘Guaranteed good times ahead! And we’ve only just started. Families, you’ll find something for your toddlers, teens, parents and grandparents! Everyone needs to GET ON MY LAND!’
