Bearded Theory a record breaking party with Beards, Bands, Arts, Crafts, Weddings, DJs and general daftness, is a three day music festival that has now firmly entrenched itself as being the first "proper" festival of the season.  The festival borders 3 counties of West Midlands, South Derbyshire and Staffordshire and only 2 hours away for 50% of the UKs population.  

In 2014 they won “Promoter of the Year” award at the UK Festival Awards in London.
