Greenside Festival

This year it’s easier than ever to join the fun with a brand-new website and online booking system making grabbing tickets just a few clicks away.  Since its launch in 2017, Greenside Festival has grown into an authentic, beloved and organic celebration of live music, traditional games, local food, and a true sense of community in the beautiful outdoor setting at the foot of the Howgill Fells in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It’s the kind of festival that makes people say: “We should do this every year” and it’s gathered a core following of repeat attenders. While it’s still small enough to feel intimate, the festival this year features new additions to entertain both newcomers and veteran festival-goers alike.

 

What’s new this year?

• A sleek, mobile‑friendly website showcasing the full festival experience including photos and videos from last year, the full line-up and festival information.
• A seamless online booking system, launching for the first time, allowing festival‑goers to buy day or weekend tickets in just a few minutes.
• A second stage! This year there will be a second stage - The Full Moon Club - set up in a cosy yurt with acoustic sessions, workshops, gurning competitions and live performances.

As well as the usual festival highlights:

• A diverse line‑up of talented local and regional musicians with performances starting on Friday evening and continuing all-day Saturday
• Family games and entertainment—free face‑painting, group games, children’s entertainers and activities including The Grand Cavalcade tent and performers all weekend.
• Delicious local food from friendly vendors, a cash bar, cocktails, coffee and ice cream!
• Free camping for tents (pets welcome, no extra charge). Campervans welcome at a small additional charge.
• Nightly ‘Silent Disco’ so the party doesn’t stop when the live music has to!
• Communal bonfire to settle in the evenings under Cumbria’s starry sky.

Whether you’re a festival first-timer or a long-time fan, Greenside Festival offers something for all ages. It’s a place where neighbours become friends, families relax, and memories are made.
