Y NOT Derbyshire Thursday July 25 to
Sunday July 28 Y Not Festival prides itself on having a killer line-up to suit everyone’s music needs.
Each year the event promises to include a mix of genres to satisfy a mix of musical tastes while supporting the best emerging talent by giving them a platform to showcase their stuff.
From what started as a private party at a disused quarry site in 2005 for around 120 people has now grown to be a large independent festival which attracts more than 15,000 festival goers each year.
Not only does the park offer one of the best musical line-ups from UK festivals, it also provides a variety of camping opportunities from adult only spaces to family camping and unique live-in vehicles for those wanting the ultimate sleep experience.
For 2019 the festival’s family area has been given a revamp to make it suitable for both adults and children of all ages and with the perk of youngsters aged 12 and under attending for free, next year’s Strawberry Fields promise to be filled with all-day games, magic shows and more.
After 13 years the event’s ethos remains the same - bringing great people together to have a great time makes a great festival - and with an array of fully stocked local ales, mouth-watering food, comedy and an epic paint fight all that is left to do is book your ticket, grab your wellies and a killer fancy dress outfit and head to the biggest party in the Peak District.
Christmas tickets are now available to purchase on the website at https:// ynotfestival.com/tickets/ but keep checking the page for further updates and releases.
