A RETURN TO HOW FESTIVALS USED TO BE

The Limetree Festival is a 3 day music & arts festival set amongst the beautiful surroundings of Limetree Farm nature reserve at Grewelthorpe near Ripon.

We have created a new annual event that focuses on returning to how festivals used to be before they became these big corporate enterprises that they are today.

With so few festivals in the north and those that there are, tend to be highly commercial
and expensive. We want to offer people something different.

Last year’s event was a great success and earned a nomination for best new festival at the UK Festival Awards 2008.

Just arrive, relax and enjoy a festival how it should be.

THE ENTERTAINMENT

3 stages featuring a top class lineup of bands and artists renowned for their live performances plus comedy, cabaret, street theatre, late night cinema, art, poetry, politics, literature & more.

THE FACILITIES

There will be beer tents, quality local food as well as weird and wonderful stalls for you to potter round and a healing area for you to rejuvenate mind, body and soul.

With free camping, onsite showers, onsite parking, no nightclub style prices, no economy burgers, no nasty toilets, no prima donnas and no need to take time off work.

THE SETTING

The site is a blend of rolling hills, ancient woods and wildflower meadows. It also features a stone circle and an iron-age round house all of which gives the the site its own spirit & energy. (see Limetree Farm website for more about the site)

THE LIMETREE EXPERIENCE!

This combination of stunning setting, unique atmosphere and the quality of acts and attractions on offer, make this the perfect place for like minded souls to get together & enjoy a weekend not to be missed.

KERRANG! Magazine described the album as: “Combining the sharp rock hooks and scuzzy darkness… The results are devilishly successful”.

The Reptile House UK Tour 2010 will give the band’s hordes of fans the chance to hear new material in it’s raw, live format and promises to build on last years successful live shows which won the band an award at the prestigious Pure Rawk Awards in London this past month.

“The Dark Party album seems to be the perfect soundtrack for late night decadence” explains Acey, who along with his band mates Andee (Guitar), Per C (Bass & Keyboards) and Chris Kling (Drums) have recently supported the original and legendary KISS Guitarist Ace Frehley on his US Tour.

With rumours abound of a reunion for Acey’s old band The Murderdolls tearing up the Internet and Rock Press, the buzz for all things Acey Slade related will be at fever pitch when the band hit the UK for some live rock action later this year!
