Thornborough is a live music festival set in a nature reserve in the Yorkshire Dales.
There will be three stages, with and around 50 bands and music acts performing across the weekend with dance and dub DJs opening the festival on Friday night. Music takes place from 12noon till 11pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Although the focus for this year’s festival is primarily music, art, health and theatre are also included in the festival programme with fringe performances, healers, spiritualists and artists performing and creating installations during the course of the festival.
Headline acts are Inner City Unit, Wild p Hucker, The Alice Syndrome, and The Mosaics, with many more acts confirmed - click here for the details.
There will be food and alcohol available on site. There will be a kid’s space but children will remain the responsibility of their parents. Disabled access may be difficult as a significant area of the site is hilly and will be difficult to negotiate with a wheelchair.
CAMPING
Camping onsite is included in the ticket price. Be prepared to park your car in a separate location to the tent (300m+ away). Camp fires will not be allowed other than at official locations. People with Camper vans will stay in the parking field but will be placed in a camper van area (assuming the allocated space is not filled). A family parking area is available.
