All good things come in small packages …this is certainly true when it comes to Ireby festival. Now into our 6th year, we don't shy away from booking world class national and international artists to perform alongside some of the best talent of all age groups from across the region.

Not heard of Ireby festival? Well, apart from being situated on the north-western perimeter of the Lake District National Park with stunning views towards Skiddaw and the surrounding fells just think of what else we have to offer…showcase concerts in St James church and the Globe Hall, sessions at the Lion pub, cream teas at the W.I.Hall, open mic sessions, street entertainment and children's performances in the village square. With camping, real ale good food, free car parking and the freedom to wander, what more can anyone need?

Our 500 seat fully floored heated main stage marquee is set in the beautiful grounds of Ellenside House. Add to all of this, top quality performances and it's not difficult to understand how we sell out every year. Quality simply oozes from every corner of this gem in the crown of music festivals. But don't just take our word for it, come and see for yourself!
