The festival is independently funded and has no involvement in corporate organisations, nor does it receive any sponsorship. It has organically grown from its free party roots and has a musical emphasis on dance and electronic artists. The festival is renowned for it's dramatic creative site art, and unique venues including The Fortress complete with towers, turrets and flame throwers, Pratty's Ring, a huge earth bowl apparently carved from the ground by local, shovel handed, legend ‘The Giant John Pratt'. The Street features not only a functioning church, hotel, and hair salon, but a tattooist where ‘lifers' can demonstrate their allegiance with a Beat-Herder tattoo. At its centre is The Woods, a magical arena at the heart of festival surrounded by huge swaying Pines and not forgetting the Beat Herder and District Working Men's Club with Bingo and the hugely popular Beat Herder's got Talent competition.
