“Trust FFA on this – Beardy is getting even better year on year. No levelling off. No slack years. Just year upon year improvement. This eighth festival incarnation was arguably the best yet and Beardy is rapidly becoming a benchmark for how ‘Folk’ festivals should be. It’s a truly wonderful weekend in the Shropshire fields. The glorious location of the Georgian Grade II listed Hopton Court, with its Victorian walled garden, Orangery, manicured lawns, lakes and beautiful vistas, sets the backdrop for this staggeringly good bijou little gem of a festival. Beardy utilises the grounds, fields, Orangery and woods to full affect to create a lovely blissful vibe and safe space.”
