Ashburton, Devon. 24-26 July 2020
Set upon a farm just two miles outside the vibrant market town of Ashburton with breathtaking views over Dartmoor and Torbay, The Little Big Festival is a summer sparkle of West Country magic. Brought to you by some of the team behind the world-renowned Port Eliot Festival, this new family-friendly three-day event combines the very best of an arts festival with the joyful eccentricity of an English country fayre – and everything in between.
With music, film, cabaret and literature you’ll also encounter arts and crafts workshops, children’s activities, farmyard Olympics, gardeners’ question time and a mouth-watering range of food celebrating the very best of local produce.
The festival is easily accessible by road and rail, and there will be a park and ride facility from Ashburton for day-ticket holders. For those coming from further afield, full camping facilities included in the price of the three-day ticket.
