A brand new event has been revealed for next year Once Upon A Time In The West aka OUT West Festival will take place in a secret rural location in The South West Bath, Frome, West Wilts area) on Friday 18th and Saturday 19th July 2014, and is run by a team with a wealth of experience who have been or are currently involved with Glastonbury, Bearded Theory, Endorse it in Dorset, The Bell (Bath), Bath Fringe, Walcot Nation and Watchet Live Festivals. OUT West Festival will focus on 'having a great time in beautiful surroundings'.

Organisers of the event explain, "The Once Upon a Time in the West Festival came into being following ( as these things do) a chat in the pub. This then progressed into meetings over dinner and wine, more pub meetings and more meals – once thing became abundantly clear – we have to have quality food and beverages at any event we put on! A plan came into being and having sounded it out amongst various members of the festival industry, potential punters and other festival organisers, the overall reaction has been extremely positive and supportive."

They feel the time is right to be starting a new festival having studied the sector for the last few years, what’s worked, what hasn't, the demographics (this has changed massively in the last few years) and together with their experience of the industry over the last 10 yrs they have a clear idea of the new event's direction and plan.

There are no acts confirmed yet for the event, and ticket prices have not yet been announced, but the emphasis will be on having a good time – a celebration of what The West and beyond has to offer, accessible, welcoming, affordable and a fantastic party…… the like of which the Westcountry is famed for.

The organisers add, "A real positive is that a good chunk of the festival industry ( from tents, to bands, to staff) are based within a 40 mile radius of the site. This said we will be utilising as many local suppliers as possible, whilst pulling in acts both nationally and internationally. Saying too much more at this stage will be giving the game away!!"
