The Proud 2 Bee festival will take place at Whitebottom Farm next weekend, in what the organisers say will be "an unforgettable weekend of music, fun, and community spirit". 

The event runs from Friday 14 to Sunday 16 June. It features a wide range of artists and genres, from indie to electronic. In the lineup this year is Ministry of Sound, Chris Moyles, Tom Zanetti, Billy Gillies, and more.

The festival takes place in the beautiful countryside surrounds of Whitebottom Farm, and features a range of camping and 'glamping' options. And in addition to the music, festival-goers can also enjoy a variety of food stalls and family-friendly activities.

The festival prides itself on being "a melting pot of identities, a space where you can be your authentic self, and a canvas where love, acceptance, and creativity collide".

As the organisers say: "The atmosphere is electric with positivity and inclusivity, creating an environment where you can truly let your guard down and express yourself freely.

"Ride the waves of love and music at Blackthorn Proud to Bee Festival – where every note is a testament to acceptance, unity, and the power of music and entertainment to bring us all together."

Tickets are still available, with a range of different options, from single day access to camping and glamping tickets. Find them HERE.
