We are hand-crafting a new festival - No Direction Home, to be held on 8th - 10th June 2012 at Welbeck on the edge of Sherwood Forest. It's a unique setting that is second to none.

There will be music, there will be merriment, there will be all sorts of things that you could expect from the team behind End of the Road:
Attention to detail, award winning ales, Somerset Cider Bus, great food, cutting edge film, comedy, children's entertainments, a chance to make, do and discover.

Camping will be beside a lake with views of the historic Welbeck Abbey.

A joint early bird ticket offer with tickets for EOTR will be available from Tuesday 6th Sept.

We are really sorry to share with you the news that The Love Language and Lia Ices have both had to cancel their trips across the pond for this year's festival. We will miss them both, and hopefully they will be able to make the journey next year instead.

To replace these two artists, we have booked Spectrals and The Lazy Susans. We are so happy that they were both able to say Yes on such short notice, and we very much look forward to having them at the festival.
