    Director Sandra Surtees said: “2026 is shaping up to be another amazing year with an incredibly diverse line-up covering everything from folk to Americana and world music. We work very hard to craft an unrivalled programme of music that allows festival goers to enjoy their favourite artists, see things they won’t find at any other festival and also discover music that is new to them. Along with the vast array of other activities going on, it just makes for a perfect way to round off your summer.”
