Dub/Dance pioneers Zion Train have been announced as Sunday headliners for this year's September Alchemy Festival the biggest of four events happening this year.

They join Friday headliners Here & Now, and the previously confirmed Monster Ceilidh Band. No other acts have been confirmed.

The Liberty, Philosophers Stone and Mushroom stages will all be back offering live acts, festival favourites, and DJs, with a few surprises thrown in for luck. The Psychedelic Breakfast Crew who have been part of the dance party scene for a number of years now are expected to return providing a unique setting for all to have a good time, kick back and relax and have a damn good boogie.

Alchemy is a small family friendly festival that continues to grow and grow. Musically its diverse but well programmed with most music tastes catered for someplace or other on the site.

Early bird tickets are available priced at £50 for an adult weekend ticket. An under 16 ticket is priced at £12. Under 5's are free and don't require a ticket. A car parking ticket is priced at £8, and a live in vehicle pass is priced at £20. To buy tickets, click here.

The festival will also include a bubble tent, and circus area with fire shows, jugglers, poi and many other oddities! The site will have many works of art and sculptures, stalls, more food traders than last year, tarot readers and communal fire pits, and every day will be a dress fancy day. Gremlin Trikes will be providing Sherpa services to and from the car park.

There will be a large children's area at Alchemy containing circus skills, workshops, bubbles, face painting, shows, talks and performances. There will even be a children's open mic. Everything in the childrens area will be free. The festival aims to be as green as possible and support fair trade, and hopes to have a local cider company on site selling homemade cider and mead.
