Prices are £15-00 per night for 2 adults using any combination of car/ tent/caravan/motorhome, and they are offering a £5 discount per couple for a third night.

On site

Food will be provided by Halsford Farm and a combined team from Kirklinton Church and the Brampton Community Centre. Geltsdale Micro Brewery from Brampton are running the Bar. Whilst Kirklinton’s main performance area is roofed, because the Hall is a ruin the music will be audible to people wandering around in the grounds as well as to those sitting or standing under cover.

Getting there

Kirklinton Hall is on a minor road off the main Brampton to Longtown road.
Navigate onto the A6071 road from Brampton heading towards Longtown, then look out for the festival signs.
