About Our Live Music (Updated details for 2022 will appear here in due course) 

Our Live Music consists of 7 stages with an action packed line-up of entertainment, both during the day and late into the evening, offering a wide variety of music to suit a diverse audience. Our Outdoor Concert Stage-the ‘Old Rosie Stage’, attracts some of the country’s very best tribute acts as well as a number of chart topping older and original bands. Another four stages are housed within huge entertainment marquees (plus the Countryman outdoor stage situated near the craft tents) which attract a great line up ranging from the best party bands to a mixture of Folk, Country & Western and rock bands. We can assure you of a great variety of music to suit all tastes including the hugely popular Dr Busker and the Steam Fair Choir.

The line up of Acts/Bands performing at the 2022 show will appear here in due course. In the meantime, please view the line-up of Acts/Bands which performed at our last event in 2019, some of which will be re-appearing in 2022. Click on the venues listed below for the line-up appearing in that venue. If you want to find out more about one of the Acts/Bands, click on their name and you’ll be directed to their website. Also, check out Facebook for announcements.
