Intimate, inclusive, grassroots festival fun :) x The Cursus Cider & Music Festival is brought to you by Fuelled By Cider in conjunction with Dorset Star Cider & DJ Dapper Dan's Skanking Delights. We offer high quality original and eclectic music as well as a great selection of cider, ales & food. This is a festival for people who want an uncomplicated good time. It is about good people, great mus

ic, superb cider and delicious food. There are no circus style distractions and there will not be loads of traders looking for your hard-earned cash. Just come along and chill in a beautiful part of the Dorset countryside. Families, tent campers and live-in vehicles are all welcome. Dogs are welcome too if kept on a lead and any mess cleared up. The historic Dorset Cursus runs through the festival site - hence the name! The festival runs from Friday to Sunday but for 2022 we have also added a FREE Thursday night option for weekend ticket holders! Tickets are very well priced and full info can be found here:

Previous events have sold out in advance so pre-booking is highly recommended. We look forward to seeing you down on the farm!

The Dirty Dorset Dance Tent was pumpin' once again at Cursus Festival!!!

An awesome array of tune-spinners stepped up over the weekend to keep people dancing and vibing between bands and after they'd finished 😎

Eclectic, inclusive, wild and fun - thanks to everyone who dropped a tune, threw a shape and generally made it such a great place to be!

Big up Mrs P, Skoob and The Inbredz soundsystem for making it happen ❀️

πŸ“― CURSUS NEWS! πŸ“―

After an amazing Cursus Festival 2026 we can't wait to go again, and 2027 dates are now confirmed for 28th - 30th May bank holiday weekend πŸ₯³ Tickets go on sale this Sunday 7th June!

However we have a conundrum...

Festival running costs continue to rise, but we do not want to keep increasing ticket prices for the Fuelled By Cider family...

The solution! πŸ’‘

We have always offered discounted Early Bird prices to reward early commitment. These usually rise in line with standard price tickets🎫

However for 2027 we will not be increasing our Early Bird prices at all! 🀩

In addition, Early Birds will be UNLIMITED in number meaning that everyone has access to the discount if they are able to book in the first month of sale.

It's a win-win situation for you and us 😊 High advance sales give us the confidence to go and book a killer line-up and tweak the festival to make it even better. And in return, you'll be saving money on every weekend ticket and Friday add-on that you purchase before 7th July.

Even better! This will also apply to Family Weekend tickets (one adult or two adult options) πŸ‘Ό

EARLY BIRD PRICES 2027:

Adult Sat/Sun Weekend - Β£99
Adult Friday - Β£30
Family Sat/Sun Weekend (2 adults up to 2 kids) - Β£198
Family Sat/Sun Weekend (1 adult up to 2 kids) - Β£99
Family Adult Friday add-on - Β£30

We really hope this will be a welcome scenario for many of you. We do appreciate that it still comes with a financial commitment, so have included the end of June pay day in our Early Bird window to help a bit more.

More info to follow but set your watches for Sunday 7th June at 7pm, get booking and guarantee your bargainous attendance at our brilliant little gathering πŸŽͺ

Peat & Diesel one of the finest headliners we've ever seen at Cursus Festival.

Thank you so much for 'keeping it real' and playing this small, grassroots event while also being thoroughly decent blokes to work with 😎

A special mention to your wild wingman RuMac Music too. An absolute hit with the Cursus crowd! πŸ€ͺ

We sincerely hope to see you guys back at another Fuelled By Cider festival in the near future πŸŽͺ

Let's hear it for the bands!!!! πŸ‘

An absolutely belting line-up last weekend at Cursus Festival! 🎸

Top performances from beginning to end - everyone gave 110% despite the melting heat in the marquee 😎

Equally as important - every single artist was a pleasure to work with. Your humour, flexibility and professionalism is massively appreciated backstage!

As ever huge respect to our sound crew Mc audio and productions - the best in the business, plus the one and only Adie on lights Southwest Stages

And also to Bangham, Mabel and Joe Brock who all stepped into the Artist Liaison role over the weekend and did us proud 😊

And finally, thank you for Friday's opening act who dedicated their song 'Shine' to Cursus legend Mick Bailey - lovely touch ❀️

Grassroots music is the BEST!!!
