Beat-Herder Festival

Beat-Herder Festival

by: Spoonfed Festivals

Line-up, news, and updates for Beat-Herder 2011

When: 1st - 3rd July 2011

Where: Sawley, Ribble Valley Lancashire

How much: £85 (inc. booking fee) for the entire weekend.

The ultimate back to basics, corporation boycotting festival. Beat-Herder boasts self-sufficiency at it's best. Everything onsite is hand made in advance in the Beat--Herder workshop before being shipped off to the Sawley site for a weekend of hedonism and guilt-free fun.

Now in it's fifth year, Drowned In Sound describes this event as 'the most heart-on-sleeve Northern festival' around. With no official sponsorship, Beat-Herder exists with the support of the surrounding Lancashire community, serving up local food and alcohol, and in return showcasing little known artistic talent in the form of festival art installations. It's no surprise there's a devoted Beat-Herder cult following already.

An exciting, eclectic list of late additions to the bill this year sees the likes of Simian Mobile Disco, Riva Starr, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Lazy Habits hit the forest to provide just a taster of the weekend's entertainment.
