Beautiful Days 2024 is set to unfold in the picturesque Escot Park, Devon, from August 16th to 18th, marking its 21st edition. This Levellers' family music festival, organized by DMF Music since 2003, stands as a beacon of independence in the festival landscape, eschewing sponsorship for a purely music-focused experience. With over half of its tickets already sold, the anticipation is building for what promises to be a landmark event in the UK's festival calendar.
A Diverse and Vibrant Lineup
The 2024 lineup is a testament to the festival's commitment to diversity and quality, featuring headline acts such as Richard Ashcroft, The Saw Doctors, and Levellers themselves. Joining them are Richard Hawley, Fat Freddy’s Drop, The Damned, and many more, spanning a wide range of genres from rock to folk, and everything in between. With entertainment spread across six stages, including The Magic Teapot and an extensive children's area, Beautiful Days offers something for every music lover.
More Than Just Music
Beyond the music, Beautiful Days is a celebration of art, culture, and community. Site art installations and walkabout theatre performances transform Escot Park into a vibrant tableau of creativity. For families, the festival provides a welcoming environment with dedicated camping areas and a plethora of activities designed for children. Real ale enthusiasts will appreciate the bars from Otter Brewery, while everyone can enjoy the carefully selected food and craft stalls dotting the festival grounds.
A Festival With Heart
Beautiful Days prides itself on being more than a festival; it's a community. This ethos is reflected in its lack of sponsorship and funding, relying instead on the support and passion of its attendees. The inclusion of Folk Sessions and wellbeing classes by Kanga Wellbeing highlights the festival's commitment to creating a holistic experience that nourishes the body, mind, and soul.
