Thank you to everyone who joined us at Houghton this year. As we approach our tenth year, a loyal and structured community has now formed. One that believes, discovers and understands in equal measure. Friends and family from nearby and far away, old young people and young old people define a dedicated cluster of committed supporters. This, coupled with the vibrant energy of receptive and excited newcomers. Together we are connected by a knowledge of music and art which relies on innocence, belief, immense curiosity and shared discovery. Thank you for caring for each other, caring for the land and caring for the precious spirit of the festival itself.

Thank you to our staff and volunteers who worked in extreme heat with utter devotion to create this small and charming village which operates for just four days a year. Thank you to all who contributed to the highest quality in sound across thirteen stages. This festival is about you as much as anyone, sensitive presentation of music is not possible without you. Thank you to the Houghton estate for once again allowing us to create fantasy and creative significance on their land. Their trust and belief in our ever growing vision allows the festival not only to exist but to thrive.
