A New Day Festival - Welcome & Schedule

Welcome

A New Day Festival is a three day festival in the beautiful setting of Mount Ephraim Gardens, featuring the very best in Prog-rock, Classic rock, blues and roots music.
Created by enthusiastic music lovers who appreciate the importance of good ale (other beverages are available!) delicious food and great nostalgic music. This festival has it all and is about offering you an amazing weekend to remember, with like-minded people in the heart of the Kent countryside. Join us.

The festival begins on Friday at noon but for those eager to get here and beat the traffic and get a good camping pitch the campsite will open on Thursday. The bar will be open and some food stalls, and we will have some acoustic entertainment. If you fancy joining us for a pre-festival chill-out evening, please book your additional camping night when you purchase your festival ticket.

We are DELIGHTED to announce the addition to the weekend line-up of STEVE HARLEY & COCKNEY REBEL, John Lees' BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST and the fabulously talented duo WHEN RIVERS MEET, currently making waves up and down the country.

Please note we will be using Campsite B again this year, where you can park your car in the same field as your tent, but not next to your tent. There is a £5 supplement charge per person, additional to standard camping ticket (3 or 4 day). If you have already purchased camping ticket(s) you can still purchase the supplement separately. Space is very limited so buy early!

Electric hook-ups for Campervans and Caravans now available on our other website (below). Again, VERY LIMITED.
