The British Country Music Festival

The British Country Music Festival takes place from 29th-31st August 2025 and welcomes over 100 artists across four indoor stages in the Winter Gardens. Whether you are fan of contemporary country, Americana and Roots music or maybe you are new to the fastest growing music genre in the UK, this festival is a music discovery adventure.

You will leave having been introduced to some of the nation's most talented singer-songwriters alongside a carefully curated programme of amazing, international artists.

As a day or weekend ticket holder, you can come and go as you please and all rooms are accessible with seating, standing or dancing options. Our main stage is the spectacular, candle-lit Empress Ballroom with its breath-taking gilt ceiling and sprung dance floor.

We welcome many people attending on their own, or attending a festival for the first time and we are proud of our welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, where life long friends are made.
