Tickets are on sale for Cumberlandia, a grassroots folk festival in West Cumbria.
Held from July 25 to July 27, the family friendly event will be held at Rivendell, near Workington.
Now in its second year, the weekend includes performances from Mercury Prize nominated singer and folk song interpreter Sam Lee, troubadour Rory McLeod, dub-folk pioneers An Dannsa Dub, Re:Vulva, and trad-folk trio Granny’s Attic.
The festival will also shine a light on the community of folk and acoustic music which has grown up around West Cumbria in recent years.
Following a very successful first year, organisers said they were keen to establish Cumberlandia as an annual event.
Cumbrian singer song-writer Dave Camlin said: “We were delighted with the feedback from last year’s event, and this year is going to be even better.
“We’re keeping the festival small with no more than 500 people on site, so we’ll retain the sense of intimacy and community, celebrating the vast wealth of creativity in our little part of the world and welcoming some fantastic performers from further afield to inspire us!”
The festival will include music sessions, open mics, music, dance and craft workshops for everyone to join in.
There will also be a new café space, a campfire music making area and open mic/busking areas.
Dave added: “Most importantly, we see Cumberlandia as a place of refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where people can be part of an inspiring temporary community, collectively imagining a better way of being in the world, through music and music making.
“We’re planning the whole weekend as a journey, drawing people into an amazing musical experience and sending everyone home nourished with creative possibilities.”
Adult tickets are from £85 for the weekend, with camping from £20 (vans pay a supplement).
Tickets for children under 12 are £20 and all children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
