Dance in the colourful storm of music at Lancashire’s Beat Herder Festival 2023

This isn’t just any old festival. This is an actual community, a crazy magical community. Beat-Herder have earned themselves the reputation of being the “evolution” of festivals. Every year they bring it bigger and better. The constant expansion and upgrades are what draws people back time after time, along with the fact that there are awesome music sets and about two countries worth of drink.

The creativity that’s seen on every blade of grass is on a whole other level, with a team of people behind the scenes working flat out to bring a new wildly different, colourful theme to every year. Hand-painted, hand-nailed, heads banged, and so many splinters. Even the toughest of creatures would shed a tear, this festival is built from a lot of love and those crazy visions that started off as dreams.

With the number of stages growing year by year Beat Herder Festival can definitely offer something for everyone. This time around it looks like this 3-day event is going to feature 21 stages from a full-blown rave in the woods to a blowout in a fortress.

How To to Beat Herder Festival

Snuggled deep into Lancashire’s Ribble Valley on Dockber Farm is where you can find this enchanting festival. This 3-day event begins on the 13th of July this year and runs until the 15th with ticket options galore to suit every possible need.

Prices start from £110 for the full weekend with the option of a £60 permit to bring your caravan along.

If partying in your own filth for three days doesn’t appeal to you, Beat Herder Festival also offers a “snooty glamping” experience where you get separate access to your tent with a full-sized bed and furnishings included. This section offers a top-notch shower block, snazzy VIP festival toilets, and entry to the pamper parlour.

Now, of course, service like that in the middle of a valley amidst a festival is going to cost you. Prices start from £520 for a two-person glamping spot right the way up to £830 for an 8-sleeper.
