Exile Fest

Exile Fest Exile Music Festival is a weekend event showcasing 15 to 20 local and independent music's best bands in Derbyshire. Family friendly and very reasonably priced!

By the middle of June each year we are gearing up for our annual round of site preparation, fence construction and stage manufacturing in preparation for the influx of hundreds of visitors, both new and old. The Exile Music Festival is now firmly established at Sabine Hay just outside Darley Dale with its gently sloping verdant tree lined camping area, contained by beautiful Derbyshire woodland, a

ll ready for your tent. We have a well stocked real ale/cider bar with a huge variety of teasingly tasty beers, a variety of stalls, various activities to engage and a selection of food & drink stalls and cafes on site and available around the clock.
