UB40, Manic Street Preachers and Supergrass at Lakefest 2022

Lakefest, held at Eastnor Castle, welcomes stars including UB40, Manic Street Preachers and Supergrass as it celebrates its 10th anniversary.

Kicking off on August 11 and running until Sunday, organisers are promising one of their best ever festivals.

A spokesperson said: "Lakefest doesn't claim to have invented fun: but we carry our own 'fun button' and it gets pushed all day, and every day.

"The organisers are a group of independent families, who enjoy nothing more than making sure that your family has the time of their lives.

FUN: Crowds at Lakefest

"It is no surprise that Lakefest is consistently rated as one of the best events of its kind anywhere in the world.

"But don't take our word for it. Come and see for yourself. In a field, by a lake, under the protective shadow of its own castle."

Army parachute team The Red Devils will be parachuting in to kick off the opening night on August 11, with the first live performances of the festival coming from UB40.

In addition to the music, there are events for all ages including a junior talent show, wellness activities, paddle-boarding, fairground rides and a range of food and drink.

For the kids, there is face-painting, circus workshops and silent discos to keep them entertained.

In its anniversary year, the festival is beginning a partnership with The Children's Hospital charity and, for every pint sold, a cash donation will be made.

The 2021 Lakefest included big-name acts like Sir Tom Jones, who headlined the festival calendar, Echo and the Bunnymen, Seasick Steve and Razorlight.

Other musical highlights of the four-day event included Scouting for Girls, T’Pau and New Model Army.
