Fence Records announce a new summer festival in Anstruther. Haarfest runs from Monday 16th to Saturday 21st of August. It takes place within the sleepy fishing village of Anstruther, Fife which is a pretty fishing village in a stretch of Scottish coastland known as the East Neuk.

Line-up

The line-up for the festival includes King Creosote, Lonepigeon, The Earlies (some of), HMS Ginafore, The Oates Field, Inspector Tapehead, Adem, OnTheFly, Seamus Fogarty, The Pictish Trail's 'bit of strange' (recorders at the ready!), Eagleowl, Silver Columns, FOUND, Meursault, Withered Hand, Pip Dylan, Gummi Bako and Kid Canaveral.

There'll be music from 8pm in the Hew Scott Hall from Monday to Thursday, and in the Cellardyke Town Hall on the Friday and Saturday. During the afternoons there will be art, craft and song workshops, organised walks and a beach clean, a 'potted sports' afternoon PLUS art installations from the Fenceart department. Plus madcap and largely unexpected appearances by the National Theatre Scotland as part of their Celebrating Fife program PLUS some mindbogglingly techy stuff courtesy of Jon Rogers and his students. If that's not enough organisers hope to show a film or two.

Tickets

A week ticket which offers access to everything is priced at £50. Evening tickets are priced at £12.50 per evening show (concessions for under 12s if the licence allows, under 7s free) and workshops priced to cover cost of materials etc. Tickets go on sale from Monday June 14th in the Fence webshop, the Scottish Fisheries Museum and The Ship Tavern.

The independent record label, based in the sleepy fishing village of Anstruther, in the East Neuk of Fife. Founded by Kenny Anderson (aka King Creosote), and co-managed by Johnny Lynch (aka The Pictish Trail).

Accommodation

This is a non-camping event, although accommodation options are available in the surrounding area. There's late transport back to the Crail and St. Monans campsites, however, organisers are trying to sort out an Anstruther alternative be it campsite or bunkhouse.

More information will be here when available.
