Grimsthorpe Festival, Grimsthorpe Castle on Bank Holiday Monday will feature live music and family entertainment

Nr Bourne Lincs

Attractions


Grimsthorpe Festival has so many attractions that it is impossible to list them all, but here are a few:


MAIN STAGE

This truly stunning outdoor stage featuring rock and indie bands will make the castle rock!


SHOW RING STAGE

You will be spoilt for choice as this popular stage features both traditional and contemporary folk music.  With an amazing line-up for 2012 this is sure to be a hit with music lovers.


ACOUSTIC STAGES – BUSK STOPS

These two popular stages at the Festival features many bands and solo artists from all over Lincolnshire and the UK.  With a great atmosphere inside a huge marquee this stage showcases raw musical talent without the need for high tech equipment.


SPOKEN WORD STAGE

Another new addition to the 2013 Festival, the Spoken Word Stage celebrates the diverse and endless gift of the speech.  From poetry and prose through to comedy, this stage will entertain and educate, while you laugh and cheer!

COURTYARD STAGE

In the peaceful setting of the courtyard by the Grimsthorpe Castle restaurant, The Courtyard Stage will feature a sofa where performers will kick back and jam in a relaxed and laid back style while the audience enjoys a refreshing drink and tucks into a slice of cake or two, or three or...

SHOW RING

The Show Arena features many traditional and rural performances that showcase the very best of English country life and culture.  From owl and falconry displays and The Side Saddle Associations “A Bit on the Side”, to the Dog Show and Terrier Racing, the Show Arena will have the onlookers in tears of laughter.


WONDERLAND CHILDREN’S AREA

Our Wonderland Children’s Area is found on top of the hill just inside the grazing field, the kids very own festival.  Designed for the under 12s, but also perfectly enjoyable for the over 12s, and the very much over 12s, Wonderland Children’s Area is a full on event of interactive music, dancing, singing, storytelling, activity and running about like a five year old who's eaten too many sweets.


GRIMSTHORPE BEER FESTIVAL

Grimsthorpe Beer Festival is a celebration of the very best of real ale and beers from Lincolnshire’s best micro-breweries.  As well as a wide selection of Real Ales, there will also be a good range of lagers and bitters, as well as soft drinks.

SIDE SHOWS

Throughout the Festival there will be lots of Side Shows, featuring displays and workshops for festival-goers to enjoy and experience.

FOOD COURT

Food, glorious food!  Our Food Court will have something for everyone to enjoy.  From quality burgers and chips to world foods, veggie and vegan, to amazing smoothies, this area is where foodies will be in heaven.

BATTLE OF BRITAIN MEMORIAL FLIGHT

A much loved favourite of the Festival, our good friends at the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight team will be paying us another visit (weather and conditions permitting).  This year the Hurricane should be joining the Spitfire and Lancaster.  Don’t forget to give them a wave!

CLASSIC CAR & MOTORCYCLE SHOW

Our Classic Car & Motorcycle Show boasts over 150 vintage vehicles on display in front of the castle.  This year’s display will be the biggest yet with some magnificent examples of the very best in motor engineering and design.
