For one weekend a year, the gorgeous Peak District countryside becomes home to the Y Not Festival.
There has been steady, organic growth since it began life as a gathering of young people attending an overspilling house party in deepest, darkest, Derbyshirest, Derbyshire. But it does retain the carefree, good-time atmosphere of those original, dawning years.
The festival is still run by the same small team of passionate enthusiasts it was all those years ago (albeit a little older and a little wiser), but with the same ethos at heart – great people having a great time makes a great festival.
Stunning panoramic views of the countryside, a fully stocked bar of local ales and ciders, a mouth-watering selection of food and more live music than you could ever possibly take in.
All you need to provide is the memories (and a killer fancy dress outfit).
The line-up this year is more diverse than years before and our youngest is very excited to see SHY-FX. Preceding years have been dominated by the indie sound, and still is to an extent but it’s great to see the dance acts getting a look-in, whether they are performing or DJ’ing ‘SIGMA’.
Tickets are very reasonable for what you are getting. Here’s the Skiddle Ticket Link
