The Beat-Herder Festival is the brainchild of six creative Yorkshire men who were tired of overcrowded and pretentious festivals that were overrun with the same big brands and corporate sponsors.
After first establishing in 2006, the festival has grown year on year both in terms of capacity and line up, and yet crucially the atmosphere remains one that is intimate, charming and above all friendly.
There are camping options for this event.

"If you've ever wondered what it would be like to spend four days dancing with sheep in a field while surviving on sunshine, cider and very little sleep, Beat-Herder 2026 once again provided the answer."
"There is no better feeling than finishing work on the Friday, getting in the car and driving down to what is, in Beat-Herder’s own words, “an orgy of beats and barminess.” "
"Lancashire’s electronic mecca Beat-Herder has provided some extraordinary gatherings over the past 10 years and 2018 was certainly one of the best. "
"Beat-Herder is a non-stop field of friendship and excitement from the second you walk in to the gut wrenching moment you have to leave."
"What is the best way to describe a Beat-Herder experience? A Midsummer Night’s Dream mixed with mud and music - deep muddy fields and depths of musical variety allow you to sink into this other world of fantastical music mayhem"
