There will also be arts and crafts workshops, late-night DJs and performances around the campfire. There will also be a range of food and drink available to buy.

Founder Joe Davies first created the event in his back garden five years ago. It has grown into an annual event for fans travelling from across the country and other areas of the world.

Joe said: “It’s always a challenge trying to improve on the previous year’s festival, but I’m really excited about this year’s line up. It’s without doubt our best yet.

“Ten Tonnes and Easy Life are both really exciting live performers, and well on their way to achieving big things. We can’t wait to welcome them to Lincolnshire.

“There’s a very special atmosphere at Beyond The Woods. People always remark that there’s a real community spirit and sense of togetherness – even if you’re coming for the first time.

“We can’t wait to welcome you to Beyond The Woods for a special weekend of live music”.
