Hailed as The Best FREE Local Summer Event. Set in the picturesque Ashton Gardens, the event runs from 12.00pm to 8.00pm daily from Friday 22nd August 2025 to Monday 25th August.

Spectacular community event with a free program of musical entertainment (with brilliant local and exceptional regional tribute acts). Headline bands include tributes to Foo Fighters, AC/DC, Bob Marley, Duran Duran and the Eagles.With sonic support from popular crowd pulling cover bands. 

The main Music Stage and Fantasy Fayre will be housed inside two marquees measuring 15m x 30m. A third music stage will be located at the Pavilion Café on Saturday, Sunday & Monday. Plus, a fourth music stage located in St. Anne’s Square.

This year will include 4 days of free family activities on the opposite and adjacent side of the gardens called the Fantasy Fayre. This element of the festival is targeted for families to enjoy and we expect a significant increase in footfall over the 4 days. Outdoor activities such as; It's A Knockout, Viking Village, Shield Training, and Axe Throwing will be in the arena, whilst in the indoors Marquee there will be Gaming themes with table top gaming, miniature painting and fantasy illustration. There will also be a Science Spectacular Day with craft activities, experiments, talks on astronomy etc.
