The Festival Site
An idylic setting in the Somerset countryside
Radford Mill is a 115 acre farm managed organically since 1976. The Cam Brook runs down the middle of the farm and festival site. The Festival food is grown and cooked on site in our own Farm Kitchens. There is plenty of space for camping and lots of enchanting spots to discover during the weekend.

Saturday – Main Stage
Accoustic, Roots, Folk, Contempoary and Traditional music from around the world.
SOLANA
Formed in 2012 in Valencia, Spain. Solana’s rich and inventive sonic tapestry is anchored by a deep respect for traditions rooted in all corners of Europe and beyond. The virtuosic 5-piece weave together a multitude of instruments to take listeners on a journey from the contemplative to the euphoric and even cathartic.
JOHN HEGLEY
John Hegley is one of the few poets in the UK who is likely to be recognised in the street and his poetry is just as distinctive. A poet, editor, comedian, musician, songwriter and much more, he finds poetry in the everyday and wants to put it back there. A popular performer, he appears regularly at festivals as well as on radio and TV.
CIDER WITH KIRSTY
The Ciderhouse Rebellion With Kirsty Merryn
Between stories of wreckers and smugglers, midwives and hedge-witches, snake-catchers and nightmen, the new project Cider With Kirsty reveal the hidden lives that were the historic heartbeat of the country. Their incredible album The Devil’s On The Mast (June 2023) was recorded over a winter’s week in the depths of the Yorkshire moors.
SUGARMOON
Sugarmoon’s delicious brew of blues, classic rock, folk and summery pop has cemented their status as an exciting player in Bristol’s buzzing music scene.

“Extraordinary” – Bristol Gig Guide

Perfectly matched harmonies…at times it’s hard to tell them apart, you could be
listening to a single voice’ – Folk Radio Uk
‘Gorgeous harmonies and lush melodies…a beautiful album that transports
MOONLIT POACHERS
Rarely seen during the day, The Moonlit Poachers are a mysterious bunch. When they’re not snatching a trout, snaring a hare or netting a rabbit, they’re making some of the sweetest, most soulful, folk music this side of the sunset.
FLAMENCO LOCO
