Country Calling festival is set to take place at Hylands Estate, offering a weekend of country music and culture. The event will feature top national and international acts, family-friendly activities, and tickets are now on sale.
Country Calling Festival Brings Country Music to Hylands Estate
Hylands Estate in Chelmsford will be hosting a country music festival in Hylands Park this summer. Country Calling is the ultimate weekend celebrating all things country music and culture, set to take place on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 August 2025.
Top national and international acts set to perform
Country Calling already has 40 incredible country artists scheduled to perform across multiple stages, including international headliners Dillon Carmichael and Kaylee Bell.
Family-friendly festival will include fun activities
In addition to a fantastic lineup of country music performances, the family-friendly festival will feature country-themed extra-curricular activities to enjoy across the weekend. There’ll be a fun fair with rides for little ones (and young ones at heart!) and a line dancing saloon where you can perfect your dance moves!
Lorraine Thorne, Hylands House Manager, says this brand-new event for Hylands brings an increasingly popular genre to the estate for the first time:
“Country Calling is a welcome addition to our annual programming at Hylands Estate. Over the years we’ve hosted festivals and music concerts celebrating many varied genres of music, including electronic dance, classical, pop and rock. But this is the first time we’ll be hosting a country music event. I think Country Calling will be a great fit for the stunning surroundings of Hylands Park and, judging by the lineup of artists and activities confirmed so far, it’ll be a must-visit event for any country music fan.”
