For the birthday edition, organisers are taking the beach to the festival with The Garden being turned into a family-friendly seaside-themed area.

Fans can relax on a proper deckchair, get creative with sandcastle building or just feel the sand between their toes.

They can relive all their favourite childhood beach holidays rolled into one, with Punch and Judy shows, knobbly knee competitions, giant games, seaside entertainers, knitting, face painting and seaside-themed crafts.

Weekend tickets are on sale now priced at £105 for the weekend with children, disabled and family passes available too.
