About

Ilkley, brace yourselves… We're gearing up for our 5TH ANNIVERSARY! 

We’re returning to this stunning riverside location for 2024 on June 15th & 16th, with brand NEW production & fresh entertainment across the weekend 

But hold onto your hats, Ilkley isn't just a backdrop – it's a town with tales! Did you know that Ilkley was once a spa town with visitors flocking for the healing properties of its waters? While we won't promise healing waters at our festival, we guarantee a fantastic day out!

Imagine this: casually sipping a cold drink, savouring mouth-watering treats, and immersing yourself in the live entertainment. But wait, there's more coming your way…

 NEW: Tribute Acts (TBA) – You had a taste of the tribute last year and they went down a storm. Well, we’ve lined up some more incredible tributes for you. Stay tuned!
 NEW: Weird & Wonderful Production - As you'll know, our production borders on OTT. We're preparing to push that a wee bit further in 2024. That’s all we’re allowed to say for now.

Pull up a deckchair, grab a drink and soak up the warm atmosphere!
