Our Story

"If you’re coming here for the first time, congratulations: you’ve just found the best festival for families in the north – perhaps even the whole UK." - eFestivals

Deer Shed Festival was established in its North Yorkshire home of Baldersby Park as a 1-day, 1000-capacity event in 2010 by husband and wife team Oliver Jones and Kate Webster after their frustration at how few festivals offered progressive and contemporary programming within a safe and secure environment suitable for their children to explore.

2021 will mark our fully independent festival’s eleventh edition, taking place from 30th July - 1st August 2021. With an organically grown audience of 10,000 and the original team still in place, Deer Shed is now widely regarded as “the ultimate family festival” (Festivals For All).
