The Charlatans, Example, Madness and Bananarama are headlining the four days of Herefordshire's largest music festival, plus a full line-up of entertainment including BMX shows, wrestling and retro games.

The postcode of Eastnor Castle is HR8 1EN, gates open at 10am each day. Organisers advise all travel to follow the M5 leaving at junction 8 for the M50, and taking junction 2 signposted to Ledbury/A417. Yellow signage around Eastnor village will take attendees from the main road to the festival site. For revellers travelling by car, it's advised for them to avoid the A449 due to a closure at British Camp near Malvern.
