Staxtonbury prides itself on having the friendliest atmosphere around and in 2016 Staxtonbury 8 will bring a great community celebration to the town once again. It is held at Manor Farm in Staxton and is a three-day celebration between 1st and 3rd July.
The feel of this festival is local with local produce, food and drink sold at stalls alongside local bands performing on the main stage. No line-up has been announced yet but it is coming soon and this is a festival with charity conscious organisers, with 20% of Sunday ticket sales donated to local charities.
As well as music there are plenty of free activities for children including slides, bounty castles, Zumba session, arts and crafts workshops and an on-site entertainer.
