Formed in 2014 Underneath the Stars Festival is a vibrant summer festival of folk music, arts and food. It was created in collaboration by musician Kate Rusby, her family production team and Cannon Hall Open Farm, where it takes place. In addition to the music there are craft stalls, workshops, storytelling and as the name suggests, they’ve even included a planetarium to find out more about the stars and the night sky.
