A much‑loved Kenilworth pub is once again giving back to the community this June as its popular summer music festival, Tiltfest, returns.

Taking place at The Tiltyard on Saturday 6 June, the festival promises a full day of live music, great food and family‑friendly fun.

Pub owners Dave and Amanda Shipley have lined up a strong roster of performers and say this year's event is set to be the best yet.

"We've run Tiltfest a couple of times a year since taking over The Tiltyard, and it's always been a huge hit with customers," they told Nub News.

"The weather wasn't on our side last time, but it was still a fantastic day with a brilliant turnout. We're hoping for sunshine next weekend and for the community to come out and support us as they always do."

The festival kicks off at 1pm and runs through until 10.30pm, with live sets from Rise, Oasis tribute band The Masterplan, The Mighty Mixtape, Mixtape Rewind and Olivia Mac.

As ever, Tiltfest is completely free to attend.

"It's really important to us that the event stays free," Dave and Amanda added.

"We want everyone to be able to come along, enjoy themselves and feel part of something. It's our way of giving back to the community that supports us all year round."

Alongside the music, families can enjoy face painting, and festival‑goers can tuck into top‑quality barbecue food prepared by head chef Daniel Kerr.

With a background in fine dining, Daniel has elevated The Tiltyard's food offering and will be serving shawarmas, chilli dogs, smashed burgers and more.

"The food went down brilliantly last year, so we know people will love it again," the couple said.

"When we took over and saw the garden, we knew we could create something special here. Tiltfest and all our events have been so well received — we can't wait for 6 June."
