With an end to the drudgery of an extended winter now in sight, and AOL Travel predicting a scorching heatwave in May (hurrah!), now is the time to shake off those winter blues and get involved in the AIM Award Winning Best Festival, Bearded Theory!

‘Bearded’ is set in the grounds of the stunning National Trust property, Kedleston Hall near Derby. This year features their best ever line-up, and with over 100 artists across 5 performing live stages including Reverend & The Makers, Levellers, Asian Dub Foundation, New Model Army, Stiff Little Fingers, Seth Lakeman, Karine Polwart, Neds Atomic Dustbin, Peatbog Faeries, The Farm, The Quireboys, Subgiant and Ruts DC there is music to suit all ages and musical preferences.

Bearded Theory isn’t just all about the bands though. Whether it is the festival’s stunning location, the Thornbridge Brewery-run bars serving a fabulous quality selection of ales and other refreshments, the extensive selection of independent food traders, market and craft activity stalls or immersing the little ones in the magical world of the acre-sized Angel Gardens Children’s area, there is always something for all to see and do.

One of the biggest highlights of the weekend is the annual World Record Attempt for the Greatest Number of People Wearing False Beards. Taking place on Sunday just after the performance by Australian Musical-Comedy sensation, The Beards (who will also co-host the record attempt), the event brings everyone at the festival (and their false beards) together, and is always huge amounts of fun. With the biggest audience ever expected for Bearded Theory 2013, confidence is high that we will smash the record we set last year!

Bearded Theory is just weeks away, taking place between 17th – 19th May.
