For a while it felt so far away. It was beginning to feel like we would never get back into a field that we love so much. A field not just with live music but so much more, not least all the years and years of wonderful memories. After two years of cancellations and delays at last Nozstock is back from the 21st of July till the 24th in Herefordshire. Creative Director Ella Nosworthy said: “The past two years have been so difficult foreveryone, and what better way to shake off the cobwebs and ...

There’s no place like Noz – Nozstock 2019
When I first went to Nozstock (6 years ago) it was as a reviewer with a young child. Nozstock has now become a regular mark on the calendar. It generally falls on the weekend after they finish school so it feels like the start to the Summer holidays. What has changed over the years, apart from plenty on site (remember the old tractors?) is my relationship with not just with the farm but the family and crew behind it. It was so lovely to meet with Ella and have a look around the farm a few ...
Meeting the Nozstock family
I’ve been attending festivals for over twenty seven years. In that time I have fallen in and out of love with different festivals for a variety of reasons, however over the years one that has always remained a consistent favourite not just for me but the whole family is Nozstock. Reviewing it over the years and the fact it’s on the doorstep has made me feel more attached to the festival so when I was recently invited to come and have a look around the farm and have a chat with Ella Nosworthy, ...

Camp Bestival – A review from Jessica
We found out we were going to Camp bestival only 2 weeks before it started. Eeek, I thought I must write lists, I must plan this is huge!Due to the short notice my husband was unable to come due to his work schedule so I asked my friend Christina to come along with me and the kids. We left at 6.30am on the Thursday morning and it took 6 hours to get to Lulworth. Getting on site was pretty painless and once parked up we loaded up the trollies. I suggested we set up camp near where the boutique ...
Nozstock 2018 – My type of festival
Nozstock 2018 - A reminder of what made me fall in love with festivals 25 years ago. A 30 minutes drive is all it is for us to get to Nozstock, so close we can almost hear it. We are lucky to live in Herefordshire and it does not surprise me that a festival in the Shires has grown from a family party 20 years ago to a large successful festival. I last came with Dylan to Nozstock in 2014. Working at other festivals and holidays having kept us away. The general lay out is pretty much the ...
