Details
The Newstead & Annesley Country Park, nine miles north of Nottingham is the venue for an exciting new addition to the UK festival scene - Headstock.
This 3 day event from September 9th to 11th 2011 will be an eclectic inspirational and family friendly festival with big name headline acts as well as up-and-coming local talent.
As well as over 40 acts over four stages and dance arenas the festival will offer; a family activity area, Speakeasy Café, arts and crafts section, innovative workshops and a diverse range of food as well as a full bar facility including a selection of real ale and cider.
Headstock is a new kind of festival - it has been set up by the Newstead community and all profits will go directly back to that community. Newstead is a deprived ex-coal mining village and over 100 local volunteers have so far signed up to help make the festival a unique event.
Headstock Festival is being funded by the Big Lottery Fund's Village SOS programme.
Village SOS is an initiative by Big Lottery Fund and the BBC to inspire a UK rural revival. It is funding rural villages to develop new business ventures that will breathe new life into their areas, create new jobs and improve the quality of life for local people.
