The Proclaimers
Wick family music festival Bfest is back for it's third year on the banks of Wick river. The festival has gone from strength to strength since it was established in 2010. It sold out it's 2,200 capacity last year and with an increased capacity of 3,000 this year the organisers will be hoping for another sell out year.

Organisers plan to have the addition of a family friendly area which will have entertainment for the younger members of the audience as well as a peaceful area for families to relax and enjoy the main stage entertainment. In addition to this there will be fairground rides, food village and a well stocked bar.

Organiser Ryan Cook said, "As well as making sure the families are well catered for we like to make sure the adults are looked after also, and that means some great food on offer at great prices as well as a great range of drinks at the bar."

The festival is also part of two festival tours, goNorth and Live & Unsigned UK. goNorth is a Scotland wide tour that will stop off at Belladrum, Wickerman, Bfest and Loopallu. Live & Unsigned is a UK wide tour with the winners from a national final held in the 02 Arena in London making the trip up to Wick in August.

Tickets are priced at £28 for adults, £18 for teens aged 14-17 years, £10 for kids aged 10-13 years, and children aged under 10 and OAP's go free.
