21 - 23 July 2017 ~ "An incredible weekend that will never be forgotten." ~ Virtual Festivals
Nozstock The Hidden Valley is a three-day music and arts festival set in the rural, rolling hills of Herefordshire in the UK.
It’s a weekend odyssey set across a beautiful working farm, one filled with abundant fun, adventure, charm and a sprinkling of magic across its many stages, its winding paths and forests, filled with eccentric characters, mesmerising marvels and a packed programme from midday until the early hours each day. There’s a feast of artisanal food and drink, carefully curated.
Joining the dots between pop, ska, folk, funk, soul, indie, drum and bass, psytrance, house and a whole lot more, plus interactive adventure and performance for big and small kids of all ages, Nozstock is a playground for everyone, from seasoned festival goers to newbies setting out for their very first time. The festival features a huge range of entertainment, activities and inspiration for families and kids, and has a fresh theme each year.
Fiercely independent, Nozstock caters for festival goers of all types, from the veteran festival aficionado through to those newly affected by the festival bug. It has evolved from a gathering of 50 friends into an intimate musical odyssey joining the dots between pop, ska, folk, funk, soul, indie, drum’n’bass, psytrance, house and a whole lot more. It is now firmly established as one of the country’s leading boutique festivals.
The Hidden Valley has nine stages, many nooks and crannies and is set around a ramshackle Tudor farmhouse. The ORCHARD STAGE is set at the foot of a natural arena on the side of the gently sloping valley. Alongside the farmhouse is the GARDEN STAGE, which provides a more eclectic lineup, turning electronic by sundown whilst a converted cowshed, the CUBICLES, pushes out sub-thumping bass and dubstep through to the early hours.
The festival is truly home-grown and hand-made – quite literally in fact, with a small army of grass roots supporters helping to create the wonderfully themed environment each summer. Nozstock is the quintessentially British festival – a little bit eccentric, a lot of fun, full of wonder, enchantment… and a touch of magic.

“nine different stages… each with its own distinct personality – at times it feels like you’ve wandered into a private party (although admittedly one for 5,000 smiley, happy people)." – The Independent
“This is a real gem of a festival and so family friendly... There is so much to entertain all of the family in terms of music, arts and kids entertainment in what is a beautiful, clean, and safe environment.” – Festival Kidz
"...lack of commercialism is the very charm of the festival, along with its emphasis on local talent and green initiatives. Nozstock boasts a real laid-back vibe and is essentially the epitome of what a music festival originally set out to be." – Summer Festival Guide
"Nozstock was the most down-to-earth family-orientated festival I have ever performed at. Great, sincere staff and energy. I like the vibe. It's like a backyard BBQ, a big backyard though....” – Akil The MC, Jurassic 5
