Location
The picturesque settings of Nene Park in Peterborough offers everything you might need at a festival:
-
dedicated NVRF camp site within the park for tents, motorhomes and caravans, that is priced per pitch, not per person
-
close to hotels (closest just one mile away)
-
permanent Caravan Club camp site if you want to use it
-
bell-tent camping for hire (subject to availability)
-
day parking
-
peaceful family-friendly surroundings of the huge Nene Park & Ferry Meadows site
-
just 2 miles from the A1
-
close to Peterborough city centre
-
camp site close to bus stops and Overton station on the Nene Valley Railway (steam train) and 600 metres from site shops, restaurant and permanent shower facilities within the boating complex.
Tickets
All of our tickets are available direct from this website, just like any other festival or gig. Book your tickets here
Arena
Your comfort matters!
-
all stages and their audience are housed within fully covered marquees
-
"luxury loos"! Not those horrible blue cubicles; we've booked the sort of toilets you get at weddings. It costs us more but we know it matters to you!
-
open sides, weather permitting, so you can sit in the sun if you wish
-
space to bring your own camping chairs into the arena and includes a designated area within the arena. This is offered at your own risk and subject to H&S rules.
-
real-ale bar (other drinks will also be available!) and food concessions operating within the arena
-
additional benches for your use
-
just a short walk from the camp site to the music arena.
-
proper showers - you will have use of the permanent showers in the watersports centre a few minutes walk away.
Mission
We are all music lovers. The festival is all about the music and its fans - you! We aim to:
-
provide opportunities to some amazing bands that the bigger, established festivals won't touch because they have yet "made it" so won't make money for them
-
support the iconic bands from earlier years who now struggle to get gigs, many of whom are now cited as influences
-
cover the costs of the festival but the festival is run 'not-for-profit'. The organisers will not take any wages, salary or even expenses. If there is any profit it will stay in the festival and will go towards the following year.
