On site

The festival offers a line-up of up-and-coming talent alongside more famous names across all musical genres, as well as art spaces, film screenings and plenty of Brazilian flavour.

Festival goers can expect Tea rooms, a Casino, Picture House, four bars, food stalls, a kids play area, cream teas, fancy dress, samba, percussion, art exhibition areas, campfire sessions, high quality camping and plenty of good toilets with hot showers.

There will also be fun and games for kids (and, if there are any real grown ups, then them too) all over the site. Angel Gardens will be there alongside bedtime stories around campfires, a hidden Art Trail, Healers and the Kids Carnival.

A full programme of Cabaret and Comedy acts too, in the comfort of a cosy corner of the House.

Charity

All profits from the event go to the ABC Trust (www.abctrust.org.uk), a UK based charity that supports community art projects in Brazil geared towards developing skills and interests amongst less privileged children.
