Now in its 12^th year, the 2 day festival has expanded to include not just body art, but entertainment, live music and shopping, which encompasses many popular alternative cultures and lifestyles.  For body art enthusiasts, the Great Hall will be home to 80 of the very best UK and International tattoo artists and body piercers, with competitions presided over by special guest international strongman Rob Frampton, whilst artists will be able to shop in our exclusive trade area.  An extra touch of glamour and tease will be provided by the daytime Battle of Burlesque audition heats and glittering Saturday night show from Delicious Burlesque.  For live music enthusiasts, there is a full programme of local bands and acoustic acts, rounded off by a live performance from legendary 80s glam rockers Dr & The Medics.

This year’s festival will also be home to our exclusive Alternative & Burlesque Fair, with 60 traders offering a staggering array of clothing, accessories, jewellery, artwork, and much more.  Vendor stalls will be situated throughout the venue, and over 18s can visit our Adult Lifestyles Village for that extra special something…

Whatever your style, this is a truly unique and unparalleled event offering something for everyone.
