There will be an arts & crafts area, an organic food village, holistic healing village, and a kids creative playground.

Co-organiser Warren Holt, said, "The Folklore line up is almost complete, and as well as being delighted with our headliners Van Morrison and Ray Davies, who are bound to play sets packed full of hits, I'm really pleased with the eclecticism of the music on offer so far. There's something of a folk theme running through the line up of course, but with each artist bringing their own element to it, from reggae to rock n’ roll, bossa nova to indie, it's looking like a bill that can certainly reach out to a wide range of music fans."

Tickets are priced at £105 for the weekend and day tickets are £62.50. To buy tickets then, click here.
