Every summer for the past 43 years, this tiny hamlet comes alive to the sound of some of the best music to be heard anywhere in the country. Held in colourful marquees on a greenfield site at Brunt's Farm, there are stunning views across the valley to the National Trust's Hardwick Hall.

Run by unpaid volunteers as a not-for-profit charity, all the money goes back into the music and nowhere else. The dates for 2011 are confirmed as from Friday 22nd until Sunday 24th July.
