OAKFEST 2016 will be held in aid of the OLIVER CURD TRUST. Last year’s festival raised a staggering £3,500 for Charity.

ENTRY on the Gate is £5 ADULTS – £1 CHILD.

[Please Note – NO DOGS will be allowed as this is a working SHEEP FARM]

This year’s lineup will be as follows (in no particular order):
PAUL & JANETTE – PHIL TRAINOR – CARL BURGESS & THE ROOSTERS – TRACE WALTON – TOTAL MAYHEM – SLAP BANG – THE BLACK SHEEP – THE BLING CROSBIES – SLAM – ROGER HUBBARD & RICHARD STUDHOLME – THE TOURLE BROTHERS

Gates open at MIDDAY – Music starts at 1PM – FREE PARKING in the field.

The organisers would appreciate if visitors don’t bring their own food or drink to the event, as prices are VERY reasonable and this would only take away money raised for the Charity – Thank you in advance! smile emoticon

There will be a BAR tent serving REAL ALES – a BARBECUE – RAFFLE – FACEPAINTING on the day.

FREE CAMPING is permitted on the Saturday night.
