| Giddy Evening All It is great to see the weather feel more like summer and now only a few weeks to go until Rising Festival number one.The final preparations are being made at Kibblestone in readiness of our arrival and the site is looking amazing. Our Cub Lair stage is fantastic and quite an achievement for a year one festival, thanks to our ticket sales.We aim for the Rising Festival to serve as a cost-effective alternative to pricier events, leveraging the benefits of being situated on a permanent campsite to pass on savings directly to our attendees. The Rising Festival will honour its Oulton roots by featuring an array of exceptional local craft ales and ciders from neighbouring breweries, as well as a diverse food selection using locally sourced ingredients sourced within a 50-mile radius of Kibblestone. Of course, to those who don’t know us, you can bring your drink in the arena in moderation. We are not doing this to hold you upside down and shake the change out of your pockets.We have less than 200 tickets available and only 30 campervan/caravan passes left. If you are planning on coming, please don’t leave it too late or if you already are coming, please do let your friends know, we really want to celebrate a full sell out with you all. |
