Saturday’s main stage will be headlined by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, with additional performances throughout the day from Rudimental (DJ set), The Lottery Winners, ABC, Inspiral Carpets, Tiffany, and the Dutty Moonshine Big Band.

On Sunday, Scottish duo The Proclaimers will headline, supported by a roster that includes Kula Shaker, Kid Creole & the Coconuts, Haircut 100, Heather Small, T’Pau, and The Specials’ Neville Staple.

Beyond the music stages, the festival grounds will host a variety of attractions:

• Entertainment: The Comedy Tent, a Dance Tent, street theatre, and a Literary Tent featuring guest talks and interviews.

• Food & Drink: A world cuisine food village, a large real ale and beer tent, and a dedicated cocktail bar.

• Family Activities: A dedicated Kids Area, Games Tent, bushcraft sessions, and an Art & Craft Village offering singing, dancing, and drumming workshops.
