A mansion music festival at Baskerville Hall Aug 19 - 22 2022 www.truefest.co.uk Mpora-"The UK's friendliest festival" Over 18's only It was an amazing birthday party in 2011 at Baskerville Hall that got us invited back to put on another, bigger weekend the year after but it truly began before then from a love of festivals, some epic house parties with amazing and talented friends becoming firstly
Troyfest and now our music & arts festival Truefest since 2016. Friends of friends and word of mouth combined with it being held in a 19th century mansion is what’s always made it special. We go big on fancy dress and great live acts you can see up close without needing a big screen or dealing with queues and mud. Being smaller makes that possible but we still have six stages outdoors overlooking the Wye Valley with the Black Mountains beyond or inside the mansion going until dawn. After the disruption of Covid it will be our tenth festival this summer bringing brilliant live acts we love, DJ’s, art, performance & theatre all together under one mansion roof near Hay-on-Wye. We’re independent and very affordable with our super early bird tickets starting at only £55 which includes camping and all free parking for cars, camper vans and caravans plus the use of hot showers (and flushing loos), swimming pool and sauna. For those who would like a bit of extra comfort there are limited hotel rooms and glamping available (when announced can be booked through our website http://www.truefest.co.uk/). We have indoor and outdoor dining and a lot more (except a need for wellies). The postcode is HR35LE and it’s for over 18's only. We can’t wait for the next one already and to share it with anyone who likes their music intimate and festivals that are a big party - Troy & the Truefest team X

"The friendliest festival in the UK"
Cultured Vultures review: https://culturedvultures.com/festival-review-truefest-2017/
"Truefest is, in essence, a 3-day long house party in a giant mansion near Hay-on-Wye in the shadow of the Brecon Beacons. It has to be seen to be believed"
The Globe and Mail: https://tgam.ca/2BhRkfW
"Hosted in an old aristocratic manor house, Truefest pays tribute to new and emerging bands. Late-night DJ sets in the mansion will redefine the possibilities of the English drawing room"
