We are going to be publishing our full music and culture line-ups soon as well as full details on all of our traders. Get ready! There are hundreds! They don't call us one of the Best Value Family Festivals in the UK for nothing!
HERE ARE OUR TOP 22 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD COME TO BAKEWELL THIS JUNE!
1. We are Family Friendly! We are 'The Most Handsome Family Festival in the World'.
We are award winning and we are returning to Bakewell for our third year. 17-19 June 2016. We also have secured MORE PARKING and MORE camping for this year making it even EASIER to get in, get parked, set up camp and get into the Festival.
We are also SUPER Dog friendly! (we especially love dogs that try to roll their best in show outfits off in The Parade Ring!)
Our Homefields Camping is right next to the Festival which means you are completely contained, parked up, pitched and sorted for 3 days and yet within a short walking distance of your parked up car. We have tip top loos, including more flushing loos than Glastonbury and plenty of private hot water shower cubicles.
One of the most mentioned comment in our 2015 survey about our faculties was the quality and cleanliness of our loos! Read more HERE.
2. Come on! Get dressed up and let's have some fun! Our 2015 survey revealed that 98% of attendees would return to Eroica Britannia in 2016 and would recommend the Festival to friends and family! That's how much fun we have!
