Nozstock Festival, Herefordshire
Posted by Jackie Hewett on Sat 30th June 2007 at 04:29 AM, Filed in July
Music, literature and vintage tractors may seem like un-likely bed-fellows, but not to the regular attendees of the Nozstock festival, which began life in 1998. It started from humble beginnings as a gathering of friends and has evolved to an event that is expected to draw in 3000 or more visitors in 2007 over the two days (Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th July fo 2007).
This year the event includes:
• ‘The Orchard Stage’ – the ‘big one’!
• ‘The Garden Stage’ – next to the farmhouse and garden bar
• ‘The Bandstand’ – nestled amongst the trees this is the haven for taking in some chilled-out, acoustic sounds with sofas and a café nearby
• ‘The Cubicles’ – this is the largest dance arena at the festival and is housed in the converted remains of a cowshed! The music starts at 9.30 and goes on into the small hours
• ‘The Parlour’ – this is the original dance area for the festival which began life as a dairy parlour. Here you’ll find hard trance music and house
• ‘The Dingle’ – with theatre, cinema, comedy, poetry and story telling
• Kids area – henna, hair braiding, regular story telling from 3pm and more
• The ‘CineTent’ – showing documentaries, animations, music videos, and films by professional and amateur film-makes (you can even submit your own for showing)
• The Circus Tent – with the opportunity to learn circus skills like Diablo and juggling or watch the professionals
• The ‘Village’ – for many stalls including clothing, crafts and food
• Last, but not least - the obligatory vintage tractor exhibits
Tickets are an incredibly cheap £28 per person this year, and need to be purchased in advance and can be obtained through the festival web-site (http://www.syphnet.streamlinenettrial.co.uk/sto/Tickets_b.php). Under 13’s go free, under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult of 21+, camping, parking (and toilets!) are free…
