Directions & Venues:

The village of Kelsall is about 8 miles from Chester on the A54 between Chester & Northwich. The festival is based around Kelsall Green – a large field behind the Morris Dancer pub, Chester Road, Kelsall, CW6 0RS. The main concert marquee, festival market, children's entertainment, car parking and a limited amount of camping is on this field, and the site office and first aid are located in the pub grounds. We have a new main campsite this year. Details are still being finalised – watch this space!

Other venues used are Kelsall Community Centre, Kelsall Social Club, Kelsall Methodist Church, St Philip's Church, Kelsall Wellbeing Hub, The Farmers Arms and The Royal Oak. There will be a free shuttle bus connecting all the venues and both campsites.

Well behaved are welcome on the camp sites and in the venues.
