THE OFTEN HERD

While they may be rooted in bluegrass and resemble an American string band, The Often Herd’s transatlantic sound is deeply coloured by their surroundings of Northern England. They’ve made a name for themselves to quote Maverick Magazine, with “a winning combination of virtuosity, enthusiasm, willingness to push boundaries and above all great songs and playing.” Rupert Hughes (guitar) and Evan Davies (mandolin), write songs steeped in personal experience, whilst drawing from a wide pool of influences ranging from old-time mountain music and traditional Northumbrian tunes to folkrock, retro-pop and psychedelia. American-born fiddler Niles Krieger and jazz bassist Sam Quintana add fiery instrumental skills to the mix, adding depth and intensity to the arrangements.

This writhing beast of sound is jockeyed by frontman Jake Stevens who offers glimpses into dreamscape visions with his other worldly lyricism and soulful vocals.

Multiple hives, each hiding a unique, unexpected interior world have been placed for you to wander amongst. The honey-perfumed Bee Colony, occasionally cloaked in smoke, has a variety of ways of viewing and interacting with the contents. In each there is a surprising conceptual twist, which challenges, charms and confounds expectations – you may find yourself looking into the vastness of space, or teased by a telescopic hive soaring into the air.

There are assistance dogs on site, but can we please ask that they are not approached unless invited to do so. They are working dogs and need to concentrate.

The sound systems on site are excellent, and we find that those that have a hearing impairment should try and sit centrally in the big tops for the best experience.

We are always here to help. If you do find something or an area where you feel we can improve, please don’t hesitate to speak to us. We warmly welcome feedback and ideas.

EeeEEEeeep! Since our last festival, our SpaceCrafters team has grown from 5 to 14 super creative people and boy have they been busy bees over the last year. We have gone from a galaxy of planets to the mysteries behind the Zodiac signs.

We always look to reuse, recycle and repurpose objects where we can and these innovative creations now breathe new life into a load of discarded materials, transforming them into thought-provoking masterpieces with profound messages about environmental consciousness alongside the power of creativity.

12 vibrant spectacles stand before us, all with reasoning behind materials used. You will find these creations as you walk up to the entrance of the main arena. Please take your time to look around them, interact with moving parts, enjoy their intricacy and then come back to witness their constellations sparkle at night using the power of solar energy.

Sustainability

We consider ourselves bloomin’ lucky to host our festival on such an incredible site with such gorgeous natural surroundings. We endeavour to deliver our event with the least amount of environmental impact as possible.

Promoting sustainability at music festivals is crucial for a greener future and we are so pleased to have the wonderful Amelia Tinkler leading our UTSf sustainability team this year. By implementing our eco-friendly initiatives, Amelia, alongside her team, is minimising our environmental impact and hopes to also inspire festival-goers to adopt sustainable practices.

We hope you will join us in our efforts to ‘leave no trace’ and be as environmentally conscious in your actions and choices whilst visiting our festival site.

What we are doing:

We use BDR partnership for waste management (waste is sorted offsite) whose aim is to reduce, re-use, recycle and recover energy from South Yorkshire’s waste.

We have chosen to use LED lighting across our whole site. All vendors are encouraged to use bioware food packaging. We encourage people to car share or use public transport to minimise carbon emissions.

We have our reliable Darton-Kexbrough-Cawthorne shuttle bus in the evenings to help locals to get to and from our festival.

We have activities that focus on sustainable issues, such as our amazing SpaceCrafters and junk modelling in Galactic Odyssey.

How can you help?

We encourage everyone to use reusable cups and water bottles to reduce waste.

We offer vegetarian and vegan food options to reduce our festival’s ecological footprint and it’s all super yummy!

We invite you to take your waste home where you can. We encourage you to bring your own clean tupperware for food vendors to use.

We would love your support with our “festival woods initiative”. Simply buy a tree at the festival and we’ll take care of the rest.

“Art” of this world!

Here on site you may have noticed some rather magnificent creations? They have been designed and produced by our super-talented SpaceCrafter team, who try to reuse and recycle as much as they can whilst constructing their art pieces.

Volunteers are also green!

Our wonderfully supportive stewarding team has chosen not to have different t-shirts each year, and have picked the option to have a UTSf t-shirt designed which can be reused every festival from now on to reduce waste. This means they can bring it back each year...and it’s actually green!

By prioritising sustainability at our music festivals, we can enjoy the music whilst protecting our planet for generations to come. Amelia and her team will be present onsite and if there is anything you would like to see from us or any thoughts you might have about how we can improve our sustainability, please do not hesitate to approach them.
