You can also buy your day tickets online and save yourself time when you arrive and don't forget, your day ticket entitles you to camp until 10am the following morning, so you won't miss out on the late night jams and all that lovely beer and cider. Grab them now while you can! 😀

Good morning folks, here at Didmarton we want to encourage the next generation of bluegrass music lovers and pickers, so not only do we have our Kidmarton Bluegrass Workshop Session, where those that take part also get the opportunity to perform on stage in the main marquee as part of our Saturday afternoon concert, but to help encourage that, anyone aged 17 or under on 1st September 2026 gets into the festival for free! They just need to be accompanied by a paying adult, so don't forget to add your free child ticket when you checkout. 😀🎻🪕

It's a Friday, so let's talk drinking! As always there will be two bars operating, one in the beer tent with a fine selection of real ales and ciders available and the OGRI Clubhouse Bar.

Good morning folks, it's just a couple of weeks until the first concerts of Didmarton 2026 and we understand and share your excitement about being back in the marquee with all your friends and fellow bluegrass fans and we want everyone to enjoy all the sights and sounds the concerts have to offer. With that in mind we once again respectfully request that all tall and wide brimmed hats are removed whilst you are in the marquee, so as not to impair the view for your fellow attendees and during the performances themselves, please respect the musicians and pause all conversations. Just think, 'No Hats, No Chats, While The Music Makes Your Toes Tap!'
Thank you. 😊
