We hope that these new additions are to the liking of our brilliant ticket buyers and that those who have missed out can join us next year. Set in the incredible setting of the Lake District's Lowther Deer Park, this innovative, fan-focused, independent festival is renowned for more than just music and visitors will also enjoy 4 days of arts installations, comedy, gourmet food, kid's entertainment and a real ale festival all within the confines of what is surely the most beautiful festival site in the UK."
