There is plenty on offer to accompany the fantastic live music on stage and keep the entire crowd happy.

There is a crafts fayre, international food fayre and real ale bar on the festival site all weekend. A kids marquee with a variety of activities including workshops and face-painting is also on site. For teenagers there's a full workshops programme organised by Laurel Swift and 'Shooting Roots' where young people can discover new musical skills and learn how to sing. Admission to the workshops is free.

Alongside the festival there's the Fleming Park Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool, squash, badminton and five-a-side football, a superbly-equipped fitness centre, hot showers, restaurant, bars and cafeteria, plus a golf course.

Weekend season ticket holders can party on after the music finishes in the Late Night Festival Club with the opportunity to meet many of the artists performing at the festival!
