Nozstock The Hidden Valley

I was helping with Nozstock with the Bromyard Lions, it was epic, speaking to people on Monday when they were packing up, not a bad word to say, most coming back next year, even the rain didn’t dampen their spirits, really well organised event and hope to be back next year, thank you Mr Nosworthy…

Fantastic festival. Line up was awesome. Great mix of Reggae, Dub, DnB, Jungle, Hip Hop, Ska, Psytrance etc. Stages designs were cool, and all spaced out pretty well. Good variety of food and clothing stalls etc. Unfortunately they don't let you bring your own booze into the arena, only the camping areas, but the bars are very reasonably priced. Pints we're actually cheaper than my local. 5000 capacity was perfect. Obviously it got a bit packed for the popular acts, but I was always able to find some room to dance without having to move so far away I can't hear the music. Good mix of ages too. Definitely recommend it if you like the line up.

I love the enthusiasm and dedication of the undersea theme for this year - which was passionately done by both festival punters and the event. Good music, lots of hidden places to find and easy access from camping into the festival and from the carpark to the campsite. I definitely want to come back. They handled the rain and the mud brilliantly.

Visited for a stag party in 2018 and everyone in our group had a fantastic weekend. It's a smaller festival but what it lacks in big name acts you might find at more prominent festivals (which typically come at a higher ticket cost), it makes up for in creativity and diversity of the talent on show.We watched stand up sets, arts and drama performances and workshops, played bingo and danced until the early hours of the morning to a wide variety of music. Would absolutely recommend if there is a few acts that pique your interest and aren't a great distance away, and Nozstock seemed particularly popular with families with small children, which many larger festivals typically aren't suitable.

Awesome grassroots festival with a family focus, showcasing up and coming talent from around the UK alongside international acts across a range of genres. Drum and bass is definitely a big focus point but there's something for all tastes. There's a decent sized kids area and family camping for those who want to bring little ones and, I'd definitely say it's the kind of festival that's suitable to have kids at.

It is by far one of the friendliest and most vibrant small festivals going, family orientated music/arts/crafts festival. Well worth it. You will miss out if you only go for the day. What started 21 years as a family + friends function is now a 5000 strong regular crowd. Not want to out grow beyond its capacity, Nozstock prides itself on investing it's money not in capacity growth but growth on production values. This was duly noted with this year's theme of 'The Wizard Of Oz' To see more photos and a full review of the festivities follow F.A.T.P HIP HOP SHOW UK on all social media.

Have been going to this festival for 13 years. It keeps getting better but maintains it's fun chilled family vibes. Always great acts and new ones to discover. Great food vendors and a good selection of drinks. Can't wait for the next one!

Wow! What a festival!This is like a little Glasto and we absolutely loved it.The site is relatively small so easy to see everything and make your way between stages for different acts/events. The land it steep in marks and uneven, so do be mindful if you have mobility issues or are bringing little ones.The bar is priced in line with pubs and bars. None of this ‘we’ve got you so now we are going to bleed you dry’ pricing you usually get. It makes the whole experience more enjoyable as you don’t have to stress about spilling a £10 pint. The cups are recycled and reusable and the whole site is very eco-friendly with ample recycling.The food traders we ate from were outstanding in terms of quality and every member of staff we interacted with was very friendly. Again, fair prices from most and a great variety so all dietary needs and requirements can be catered for. We especially loved That’s Nacho Burrito and Hot Rocks Pizza.The music was really fun and we were introduced to so many bands and artists we didn’t know, but quickly became fans of. Many were really local too, which we love to see. The stages are varied, from a choir on one stage to a D&B race in another. You can always find something you like. There were big names too including Grand Master Flash, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Shy FX and The Wailers. AWESOME!We stayed in a field with Fred’s Yurts which was relatively quiet, but as we walked through other areas they all seemed respectful and clean. The family camping area is staffed to avoid anyone who shouldn’t be there soiling the family friendly environment.It did rain (no surprise there) and the ground was very slippery, but some kind of sawdust looking substance was out down to help with was great. The car park was impossible to get out of in parts though, but they had a team of staff and tractor drivers helping pull people out.This is such a magical festival and we’d recommend to anyone who will listen.

Really great little festival. Good food choices.Music was fab too. Lovely to see so many happy people having fun!
