About our live music

Our Live Music consists of 6 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.
