After Covid 19 forced the cancellation of the 2019 and 2020 edition Bearded Theory returns to the beautiful grounds of Catton Hall over the May Bank Holiday weekend. Since its inception the festival has won several awards including Best Small Festival, Best Independent Festival and Promotor of the year.

Unlike many festival's Bearded Theory actively listens to the views of the festival goers, this is reflected in the quality of the line up and the on site facilities for both young and old. The festival has a wonderful selection of food traders and a real ale and cider bar to die for.

Year upon year Bearded Theory simply gets better and, in the round, continues to be one of the very best quality and value events on the festival calendar.

"Diversity is the watchword at Bearded – both in its music policy and wider entertainment. it drives the wonderful mashup that is the Bearded audience. Rarely does a festival attract such a mix of humanity. whatever your age, lack of fashion sense, interests, or musical peccadillos, Bearded has you sorted. It all comes together. It all works. "
