The Newstead and Annesley Country Park, nine miles north of Nottingham is the venue for an exciting new addition to the UK festival scene - Headstock. The one day event on September 11th 2010 will be an eclectic inspirational and family friendly festival with big name headline acts as well as up-and-coming local talent. Organisers hope that next year's event will be a full three day festival.

This is your chance to see Ash headline, alongside other acts already confirmed including Frightened Rabbit, The Beat, Field Music, Penguin Café Orchestra, Spiro, Charles Webster, Inland Knights, Royal Gala, and Edward II. For the line-up in full, and stage splits please click here.

Please note the prize does not include camping tickets. Camping is available on Saturday night only priced at £5 per tent. The campsite opens 10am September 11th and closes 2pm on Sunday 12th. To buy camping tickets click here.

As well as over 40 acts over four stages and dance arenas the festival will offer; a family activity area, Speakeasy Café, arts and crafts section, innovative workshops and a diverse range of food as well as a full bar facility including a selection of real ale and cider.

In addition Headstock will feature a dedicated Kid's Field offering drum and jewellery workshops, face-painting, story-telling, puppet shows and an eco-sculpture which will be built during the day with help from the children and families attending.

Headstock is a new kind of festival – it is being set up by the Newstead community and all profits will go directly back to that community. Newstead is a deprived ex-coal mining village and over 100 local volunteers have so far signed up to help make the festival a unique event.

The festival is being funded by the Big Lottery Fund's Village SOS programme. Village SOS is an initiative by Big Lottery Fund and the BBC to inspire a UK rural revival. It is funding rural villages to develop new business ventures that will breathe new life into their areas, create new jobs and improve the quality of life for local people. Headstock will be filmed for a major new BBC One prime time series following the progress of the villages involved.

There will be both official photographers and a BBC1 film crew on site. By purchasing a ticket, festival goers are deemed to have consented to being filmed and photographed.
