"With their finest album in a decade due out in the summer being trailed by the barnstormingly brilliant - and completely free - single A Life Less Ordinary, the Levs show no sign of slowing up after two decades of fierce and fiery folk-rock festivities." www.mirror.co.uk

BEAUTIFUL DAYS 2008  TICKETS ON SALE

Priority and discounted booking for On the Fiddle members opens on Monday 25 February and closes at midnight on 9th March. Tickets will be released for general sale on Monday 10 March. We are HOLDING OUR TICKET PRICES from last year. All adult and children's weekend camping tickets remain at the same price as 2007. Tickets will be available from www.levellers.co.uk. This year we are expanding the campervan field and, although we will still not be able to accommodate caravans, we will have more space for live-in vehicles.
Please purchase car parking in advance but look at all options when choosing how to travel to the festival - using public transport, lift share schemes or sharing with friends if possible to reduce the number of vehicles attending. 
The line-up will NOT be announced before tickets go on sale. We won't be announcing the artists who are playing for a few months yet but can promise you another fantastic line-up of the best live music around and plenty more besides!
If you have not been to Beautiful Days before then take a look at the festival website to see photo galleries and reviews from past years. There is also information on the website about travel, disabled access and FAQ's. The festival has music across five stages, camping, children’s area, stalls, real ale bars and amazing site art.
