Beat-Herder is often referred to as the jewel in the crown of Northern England's festival calendar.

What sets this festival apart from all the rest - in addition to its entirely hand-made site and unpretentious atmosphere - is its wealth of musical diversity. True to form, in 2016 Beat-Herder will once again celebrate all genres of music, with a genuinely diverse line up that features household names across rock, house, techno, dub, reggae, drum & bass, folk, indie - with even a spot of EDM and dubstep thrown in for good measure.

The entire site is made from scratch, by hand, including the tunnels in the woods leading to secret raves (look out for a red telephone box…) and a chapel, complete with Sunday Service. With so many secrets round every corner, including a secluded on-site swimming pool nestled in the heart of the woods, it’s no wonder the festival is such a special and magical experience.
