The inspiration of world-renowned conductor, Charles Hazlewood, and with the full support of Michael Eavis, Orchestra in a Field is establishing itself as the orchestral counterpart to Glastonbury Festival. A spectacular two-day festival set in one of England’s most ancient and magical settings. Come and enjoy the breathtaking majesty of a thundering symphony orchestra, alongside unique performances from leading contemporary recording artists from the world of rock, pop, hip hop, jazz, soul – this is a music festival like no other.

“I want to take people on a musical journey and open them up to new experiences. Where else can you get world class orchestral performances, psychedelic improvisation by members of Portishead and rap stars performing live with a symphony orchestra? Orchestra in a Field has all the energy of a rock festival but with an orchestra at its heart. It’s for us, it’s for everyone, it’s for now.” Charles Hazlewood
