Lechlade Festival
FIRST BANDS ANNOUNCED
Some Velvet Morning, Narrow Plains and Slydigs are just some of the first names released in the line-up for this
year’s Lechlade Music Festival. The festival team have personally listened to over 400 applications to carefully
select a variety of high quality live music. The mixture of new and emerging talent this year is superb with a wide
range of styles from funk to folk, rock to rap, Hip Hopera such as Josephine & the Artizans.
This 3-day event, taking place on 23rd-25th May, promises to be better than ever with a third stage increasing the
number of bands to over 80. Once again, there will also be a wide choice of mouthwatering menu options for the
whole family, including Hogan’s Cider, locally-sourced burgers, pancakes, noodles and ice-cream.
A diverse range of workshops for both adults and children offer activities such as story-telling, dancing, singing
and drumming classes in the Green Welly Tent. New this year are Soundsketch who will be running a STOMP
workshop, making groovy rhythms with household objects as well as ‘Hands on the Harp’ run by world famous
Clive Morley Harps who will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about playing the harp.
This year’s festival really does have something for
everyone so chill-out, listen to some top quality
live music and enjoy the relaxed, family-friendly
atmosphere.
Children 16 and under still get in free to the event.
With tickets at just £57 for the whole weekend, this
is a great value event for the whole family.
