The organisers of Bearded Theory have confirmed that their award-winning family-friendly Spring Gathering will return to celebrate its 10th anniversary between Thursday 25th and Sunday 28th May 2017.

Here's what they say....

"Bearded Theory returns after an absolutely incredible, sold out event in 2016 which received universally positive reviews; Louder Than War boldly stated that “Bearded Theory is by a distance the best medium sized festival in the country”, and Festivals For All went even further, remarking that “Year upon year Bearded Theory simply gets better and continues to be one of the very best quality and value events on the festival calendar”

Tickets for Bearded Theory Spring Gathering 2017 go on sale at 9am on September 10th 2016.

1500 adult weekend tickets will be available at a discounted rate of £97 (2016 price). When the Early Bird tickets sell out, See Tickets will revert to selling the standard tickets at £105.

New additions planned for Bearded Theory 2017 include a Cinema Tent, an expanded line-up of music on the Thursday and a new late night ‘disco’ in the Maui Waui tent.

Once again, Bearded Theory’s unique Festival School will be returning. Enrolments to the Festival School will go live on September 10th at 9am. Please note that you will need your ticket reference number before enrolling your child. The Festival School can assist in taking your child out of education without being fined. For full details please see the website.

Bakewell’s independent Thornbridge Brewery will continue their successful relationship with Bearded Theory, once again running the on-site bars and bringing with them a wide selection of Ale’s and Ciders at exceptionally reasonable prices.
