Look forward to one of the loveliest events of the year with the return of this festival of all things folky, quirky, dreamy and endearingly off-kilter. This year organiser Vez Hoper’s celebration of music and summer vibes extends over two days, allowing her to cram in even more talent, which comes in the shape of dream-pop artist C Duncan, avant-pop cellist Laura Moody, lilting Dutch acoustic artist Gitta de Ridder, Emma Gatrill, Wooden Arms, The Little Unsaid, Rainbow Reservoir and more.
