Welcome to Grimsthorpe Festival 2012!

Grimsthorpe Festival is unique: an eclectic and dynamic summer festival disguised as a country fayre.  A very English open air party for the whole family!

Held in the beautiful grounds of Grimsthorpe Castle Estate in the heart of rural Lincolnshire, pioneering contemporary music and art meets traditional rural entertainment.

Like the very best of England, Grimsthorpe Festival is charming and irresistible, where music-lovers share cheese and cucumber sandwiches and a bottle of real ale with well-known bands and artists, aristocracy, classic car enthusiasts, rockers, poets, farmers, dancers, townies, graffiti artists and the lovely ladies who make the exceedingly good cupcakes.

In short, Grimsthorpe Festival represents classic summer entertainment for a vibrant and friendly crowd from all walks of life.  

Grimsthorpe Festival has something for everyone – a wide range of music and entertainment across 6 stages, a fantastic children’s area, the very best of the festival caterers with a huge choice of culinary delights, an extensive range of arts and crafts stalls, roaming entertainers who never fail to stop you in your tracks, a fun filled fairground, relaxing therapy and massage zone, a farmer’s market selling the very best of Lincolnshire produce, and above all a magical atmosphere.
