It all takes place at the eco-friendly Whitebottom Farm, a beautiful, secluded spot in the heart of Etherow Country Park, just 30 minutes from central Manchester.

Sounds gorgeous to me! The lineup is kept to a small capacity in order to keep the friendly and intimate vibes. This adult only festival will create a family out of the attendees, which is so special!
