THERE’S STILL time to grab tickets to one of the North East’s biggest festivals Hardwick Live, featuring five stages of music, comedy and a whole host of children’s entertainment.
Hardwick Live Festival is just weeks away and preparations are well underway at Hardwick Hall Hotel, at Sedgefield, County Durham, for the site takeover from 17 to 18 August.
And organisers are gearing up to welcome headliners Manic Street Preachers to ramp up the crowds on Saturday, while James will be playing their greatest hits on Sunday.
Over on the Discovery Stage, there will be performances from Catherine McGrath, The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Club, The Joy Formidable, Lancashire Hot Pots, Sports Team, Hyde Park Brass Band, Zuzu, Only the Poets, Bloxx and Saint Agnes.
The festival will also welcome world-famous club brands Glitterbox and Retro to the Coachhouse Courtyard for the first time, with a line-up of top DJs including The Shapeshifters, Joey Negro, Paul Taylor and Jeremy Healy.
And another new addition, the BBC Tees Introducing Stage will host ten of the region’s rising stars over the two days.
The Dome will return once more with sets from local DJs, featuring headline performances from Denney, Mark Jenkyns and Elliot Adamson, along with a comedy line-up earlier in the day.
Families are also catered for, with a whole host of activities in the children’s area including circus workshops, arts and crafts and an inflatable area and roaming entertainers around the site like the Segway Angels and Roarsome the friendly dinosaur.
John Adamson, owner of Hardwick Hall Hotel, believes the event will have something for everyone.
“We have some really exciting plans in the mix for this year’s festival and now that the event is only a few weeks away, things are really starting to come together.
“There is a whole range of entertainment for people to make the most of over the weekend and this year is shaping up to be our biggest and best yet.”
Tickets for this year’s Hardwick Live Festival are currently on sale at £55 for one day or £99 for both days. Concession tickets are available for children and 13-17-year-olds.
Camping and glamping options are available for those who want to immerse themselves in the festival experience.
