The Limetree Festival is how festivals used to be ..... amongst the beautiful surroundings of Limetree Farm nature reserve atoldenseed are proud to be one of the official sponsors of this superb event ne
We have created a new annual event that focuses on returning to how festivals used to be before they became these big corporate enterprises that they are today.
With so few festivals in the north and those that there are, tend to be highly commercial
and expensive. We want to offer people something different.
Last year's event was a great success and earned a nomination for best new festival at the UK Festival Awards 2008.
The next event will be held on 24-26 July 2010
Just arrive, relax and enjoy a festival how it should be.
