Beautiful Days - one of the mainstays of the festival calendar returns to the wonderful Escot Park in Devon this weekend (21-23 August 2015). Hosted by the Levellers, the festival features both an acoustic and electric set by the band plus a typical ‘old skool’ festival vibe. 

Now this is no simple Levellers love-in; the festival consistently attracts top flight international performers. 2015 welcomes the likes of DROPKICK MURPHYS, HAPPY MONDAYS, GOGOL BORDELLO, IDLEWILD, HOUSE OF PAIN, FREEBORN JOHN, DHOL FOUNDATION, PEATBOG FAERIES, JACK SAVORETTI, WILKO JOHNSON, RICH HALL'S HOEDOWN, THE UKULELE ORCHESTRA OF GREAT BRITAIN, KATZENJAMMER, HOFFMAESTRO, OYSTERBAND, and EDDI READER, across its half a dozen stages.

The music is just one facet of Beautiful Days of course. The festival is renowned for its wonderfully relaxed vibe and a whole host of non-music activities featuring theatre, circuses, comedy, plus loads for kids of all ages in a dedicated area… and don't forget Otter Brewery’s real ale scene!

Needless to say – the festival, as is usual, SOLD OUT months ago. Don’t worry – Festivals For All will be reporting throughout the event and we’ll bring you a comprehensive review once we recover!

The festival will also feature a showing of the feature film charting the Levellers rise to fame 'A Curious Life'. This is an excellent documentary and our reviewer loved it … read the FFA Review of A CURIOUS LIFE.

Camping opens this Thursday – we’ll see you there!
