Country on the Eye

Country on the Eye is a vibrant, family-friendly music festival celebrating country, folk and Americana music in the heart of rural Leicestershire. Held in the scenic Play Close Park by the River Eye, the event brings together talented British and American artists for a weekend of live performances. Attendees can enjoy foot-stomping main stage shows by day and intimate unplugged sets in the acoustic tent by night, all in a relaxed picnic-style atmosphere under open skies. There are delicious American-inspired food and craft beers to sample, plus local specialties and colorful market stalls. Creative workshops and kids games keep all ages entertained between sets. Surrounded by Melton Mowbray’s historic town charm and rolling countryside, Country on the Eye offers the perfect summer outing - a day of toe-tapping tunes, warm country hospitality and friendly community spirit.
