Cheshire Fest promises an eclectic roster of musical acts across multiple stages nestled in the lush green Cheshire countryside.

The festival will also offer more intimate and acoustic atmospheres at the Live Lounge area which will be sponsored by Stockport’s latest hot-spot, Bask. The Live Lounge will provide a tranquil oasis amidst the festival. Here, both signed and unsigned artists will showcase their talent in a relaxed environment.

New for 2024 will be a Wellness Village, where guests can indulge in rejuvenating experiences designed to nourish the mind, body, and soul. From a 0% bar offering refreshing beverages to juice detox sessions, there's something for everyone seeking a holistic festival experience.
