Billed as Cumbria's biggest and most vibrant festival, Solfest has a music policy that spans celtic, world, roots, pop, folk, dance and everything in between, setting top names alongside local acts.

Expanded for 2006 and catering for 5,000 people, there will be a number of new stages and areas, including the bar stage and the new chill out area. Also on offer are a main stage, dance tent and several workshops for young and old alike.

The festival prides itself in defying categorisation and actively tries to programme as many different styles of music and arts as possible. Acts as diverse as Baka Beyond, The Saw Doctors, Peatbog Faeries, and Oysterband have all appeared in recent years.less
