The ‘One and Only’ Chesney Hawkes is headlining Minety Festival

This small festival in the heart of the Cotswolds is making a lot of noise.

Having been shortlisted last year - for its first run - in the Best New Festival category at the UK Festival Awards, Minety Festival has over 40 bands across two stages for three days.

The festival itself is run entirely by volunteers. This year the community organisation behind Minety Festival are raising money for Wiltshire Air Ambulance, Combat Stress and Naomi House & Jacksplace Hospice. 

From June 29 to July 1 festival-goers can make the most of a huge line-up of live music, family-friendly entertainment, a cocktail bar, - as well as gin and prosecco bar - free camping and an array of glorious grub.

Acts for the festival include Chesney Hawkes, Bon Giovi, Neville Staple Band, The Hallows, Mike Barham, Drew Bryant, The Long Players, King Walrus, Mo’eep, and many more.

The team behind Minety Festival have also got your kids covered. Throughout the weekend the FREE Kidzone will provide inflatable slides and assault course, circus skills, bouncy castles, caving, and storytelling - to name a few. 

This year Ocelot readers also get special ticket prices - Ocelot readers can use a promo code “OCELOT” to get discounted weekend tickets (£45 for an adult weekend ticket or promo code “OCELOTFAM”, making it £120 for a family weekend ticket).

You can also win a free family weekend ticket to Minety Festival! Competition Question: Who headlined last year’s Minety Music Festival? Email your answer to jamie@theocelot.co.uk
