The festival will take place at Kenilworth RFC from 1 to 3 May 2026, with great music and great drinks.

Final tickets remain for the Friday and Sunday sessions - make sure you don't miss out.

Visitors to the festival can expect to enjoy some great food and drink. Local vendors will be serving a variety of food, from Greek gyros and burgers to pizza and ice cream. A selection of 45 different ales will be on offer, including crowd favourite 'hairy tosser'.
