What’s more, the family-friendly three-day festival in the beautiful grounds of Upton House offers exceptional value, as well as serving up a mouth-watering menu of top-quality international street food from some of the region’s best artisan producers.
Add to that a winning side order of tribute hits from England to superstars like Amy Winehouse, Queen, Foo Fighters, Stereophonics and of course the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and you have a recipe for the best times.
“It’s the weekend before the big one – Glastonbury – so there’s no better way to get into the festival spirit this summer than to join Upton House,” says festival organizer Serena Wren.
In addition to the main attractions, there’s also a bill of top local bands and singers, free kids’ entertainment all weekend and some silly eating contests for the hungry and brave.
