The Deer Shed Festival is now in its second year, and it has already increased the capacity to 5,000 so more families can enjoy the experience.  At the Deer Shed Festival kids are not second class citizens but will enjoy their own spread of musical, artistic and energetic pursuits all included FREE of charge unless stated otherwise.

Saturday is the main music day and this year there will be 3 stages.  On Friday evening, if cabaret isn't your thing we ease you into the weekend with some great good time bands in one of our bar tents. On Sunday we are very lucky to have the Just Music Café curate our Big Top stage.   The line up includes I Am Kloot, The Go! Team, Frankie & The Heartstrings, Caitlin Rose and Admiral Fallow, plus may more

The Sky At Night is the name of I Am Kloot's Mercury prize nominated album of 2010 and hence the inspiration for this year's theme. As a tribute to their headline performance there will be loads of Sky At Night type things to do.

You can expect a broader spectrum of arts and performing arts from Deer Shed including artists at work, animators, illustrators, graffiti artists, circus performance, cabaret, storytelling and even extreme Morris dancing.

Food will be where possible locally produced and be good value. This year we will have three bars in total selling a wide range of drinks at pub prices. There will also be a wide variety of food with plenty of kids options.
