The site should be open for campers from Friday 9am until the Monday at 1pm. Aside from the music, there will be plenty of amazing attractions including The Village Green with ciders, beers and food concessions where all the goods are sourced from within a 20 mile radius of the site, a solar cinema, there will also be the Little Lounge and Red Tent to keep the younger crowd occupied and the School Of Rock that will be unearthing Kent's future stars.

Lounge On The Farm is adding a new field to the festival site this year - The Meadow opens its gates with a dazzling array of fun, chilling and drama. The Meadow is an extension of everything Lounge On The Farm stands for. From an open air theatre stage to a petting zoo, via pottery classes and foraging the Kentish countryside this is a slice of festival action with out the music.
