Hardwick Festival

With more than a decade under its belt, the festival which sets up camp in the grounds of Hardwick Hall in County Durham continues to flourish.

Last year saw it spread itself over three days for the first time — and it must have worked a treat, because they’ve booked another three-dayer in for 2024.

Six stages will play host to a mixture of household names, up-and-comers and tribute acts.

Main stage headliners: Becky Hill (Friday), Snow Patrol (Saturday) and Richard Ashcroft (Sunday).

Rest of the line-up highlights: Heaven 17, The Charlatans, Jack Savoretti, Soul II Soul, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Lightning Seeds, Scam Fender, Fleetwood Bac and Reverend and the Makers.

There’s also comedy, brass bands and dance DJs galore including Graeme Park, Brandon Block, Jeremy Healy and Holly Hutchinson.

Banging.
