The Levellers own festival for 15,000 which they hope will "offer not only the best in live music today but to re-create a community spirit that many events nowadays lack or choose to ignore. This event is about people young and old coming together and taking part in something that will be remembered for a long time." It's certainly succeeded in that aim, and has become one of the most popular, selling out year after year.
The dates for the eleventh Beautiful Days are confirmed as from Friday 16th to Sunday 18th August 2013 at Escot Park, near Fairmile, Devon, with gates opening on the Thursday afternoon.
