About
Beautiful Days was set up by The Levellers in 2003 and has always been held at Escot Park, near Ottery St Mary in east Devon. The band play every year.
The line-up mixes folk, punk, ska, roots and rock with comedy, theatre and circus. It takes place in mid-August, with a strong family crowd and many people who have been to nearly every one.
