Make a week of it with Off The Tracks & Bearded Theory - Two of the UK’s most respected music festivals have joined forces to offer a great value-for-money combined ticket deal.

‘One Ticket – Two Festivals’ offers a cut-price £110 ticket covering weekend admission to both Bearded Theory and Off The Tracks Spring Festival, which take place in Derbyshire a week apart in May 2012. The price represents a saving of £34 on standard individual tickets for both festivals.

Bearded Theory is at Kedleston Hall Park, Derby from May 18-20. Off The Tracks Spring Festival is at Donington Park Farm, Isley Walton near Castle Donington from May 25-27.

What’s more, holders of the joint ticket will qualify for discounted camping at Donington Park Farm between the festivals.

Off The Tracks director Andy Cooper says: “With the festivals a week apart in 2012, we felt we needed to come together in the most innovative way to help make Derbyshire the place to be for festival goers in Spring 2012.

“As community-minded festivals we also wanted to look at how we could maximise our contribution to the local economy, and encouraging visitors to stay in the area is a good way of doing that.”

Details of the line-up for Off The Tracks Spring 2012 have yet to be announced but will include around 40 artists on two stages, as well as 70+ real ales and ciders and a great, family-friendly atmosphere. Headliners in 2011 included Oysterband, Peatbog Faeries, Martin Carthy & Dave Swarbrick, Saint Jude and The Christians.

In 2011, Festivals For All said: “Off The Tracks is one of the most precious, intimate, creative, and friendly festivals FFA has ever had the pleasure to review; populated by one of the most diverse and musically knowledgeable crowds around – it’s like a blisteringly good weekend long house party ... those very nice people at OTT give you, dear festival goer, two opportunities a year to become your own little piece of a truly magical jigsaw.”

eFestivals said: “This event really does tick most of the boxes that need ticking for an amazing festival. There's a lovely informal atmosphere here with many folk returning year on year, whilst the great line-ups ensure that plenty of people are drawn here from far and wide for the first time.”
