Scarfest was developed from an idea the Festival 
Director had one morning.

Nine months later and the committee behind this event is ready to deliver what 
promises to be the greatest music festival that Longridge has ever seen.

Scarfest will also be supporting local talent.

Having decided to only feature quality bands with a solid track record of successful gigging, the Festival Director was thrilled to find amazing talent on the doorstep.

The festival will be opened by Longridge-based One Minute and another Longridge band – The Rain – are also appearing on the day and making the short trip from Clitheroe is Blackmamba, who are regulars on the local scene.

There will be a beer tent on the site, along with food concessions and interesting stalls selling all types of festival essentials.
