Lunar Festival returns for its second year this summer,set in a beautiful region of verdant countryside only 20 minutes away from Birmingham. A long tree-lined avenue, almost like a vaulted tunnel, is the decompression point from reality into somewhere sublime just on its periphery.

There’s a dreamy mix of escapism and discovery, an eccentric blend of vibrant sounds and colour sound-tracked by a cast of live artists and DJs picked purely for their dedication to their craft. As well as offering a brilliantly diverse range of live music, as darkness falls and the night settles in, Lunar Festival introduces a series of intimate club shows taking place across the whole weekend with some of the UK’s leading exponents of the underground.
