Tickets are on sale now for this local gem of a festival!
Back for its 15th event and with a theme full of flower power, Nibley Festival has become something of an institution attracting 5,000 festival goers who come for the full and varied line-up and free family-friendly fun.
The festival is a non-profit making event, run entirely by volunteers. Our mission is to not only put on a fantastic, unforgettable event, but also to raise money for local causes that need support. Since the festival began it has donated over £360,000 to charities. This year the charity partner is the James Hopkins Trust – a Gloucestershire hospice that provides nursing respite care to life limited and life threatened young children. Every ticket purchased helps these fantastic groups.
The staggering line up for 2023 performing across 4 stages includes Tom Meighan (former Kasabian frontman), Kosheen, Stereo MCs, The Magic Numbers, Oh My God!
