About the event

An outdoor tribute festival in the stunning surroundings of Elvaston Castle.

Please note the on site camping is now fully booked.  You must have a tent or caravan pass with your entry ticket if you wish to stay on site.

This amazing festival takes place on the first weekend of August each year in the 362 acre grounds of Elvaston Castle, with the UK’s top tribute acts performing over the 3 days.

Our Dog Lovers stage has some of the UK’s best tribute bands performing across the weekend hosted by our very own Dog Lovers compere, so as the sun goes down, you can relax in the jaw dropping surroundings of the Country Park.

The food and drink flows all over the weekend with our top award-winning food vendors that we hand pick from the best food events in the Country and the fabulous Beer, Cider, Gin and cocktails bars returning to quench your thirst. As always, we have a fun packed adventure for the dogs with agility, scurry run, lure chasing, steeplechase, hide and seek, doggie dip, etc.. plus a few more surprises in store. The main arena will host again some amazing entertainment throughout the weekend, so grab a ringside seat and watch and learn some amazing things. And not forgetting the Fun Dog Show which will be running all day on both days. We have the most fabulous categories for you including Best in Show on both days.
Why stay one day, when you can stay for 3? Our campsite is adjacent to the event itself so no long hauls across fields to get to the festival.
With regular visitors as far away as Scotland, joining us year upon year. The event speaks for itself and don’t forget, we cater for every member of the family, including the dog.

You can only enter the campsite with a valid caravan/tent pass. Weekend camping tickets alone do not allow you to enter.  Caravan/ tent passes do not include event entry tickets.
