Festivals & Events 2024

Awarding winning annual Country Music festival, showcasing the cream of Uk Country Talent alongside chart topping International Country Artists from the USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa & Europe

Coming Soon

A multi-genre music festival that stands as a vibrant beacon of love, unity, and artistic freedom in a world where diversity is celebrated and embraced like never before.   

Blackthorn Proud 2 Bee is more than just a festival; it's a melting pot of identities, a space where you can be your authentic self, and a canvas where love, acceptance, and creativity collide. As you dance beneath the open sky at Whitebottom Farm, you’ll be part of a community that celebrates diversity in all its forms.

Imagine yourself swaying to the melodies of indie rock, letting the infectious beats of electronic anthems move your body, or singing along to chart-topping pop hits, all in the same festival. Blackthorn Pride is where genres blend, boundaries disappear, and music becomes a universal language of love.

Our festival is not just about the music; it's about making lasting memories and forging connections with people who share your values. The atmosphere is electric with positivity and inclusivity, creating an environment where you can truly let your guard down and express yourself freely.
