celebrating 20 years of great music and beer
Herefordshire’s best loved music, real ale and cider festival is coming back, bigger and better than ever, ready to celebrate its 20th anniversary. On 1-3 July 2022, international artists from across the UK, Germany, Ireland and the US, will line the stage at what will be an event to remember.
Set in the grounds of The Alma Inn, a repeat winner of CAMRA’s Herefordshire Pub of the Year, in the pretty rural village of Linton, this year’s festival will feature a fantastic fourteen acts across the three days, along with forty real ales and ciders, and a selection of locally sourced food stalls to be sampled.
What makes this festival so special is that it is entirely volunteer run and raises thousands of pounds for local charities each year.
Dave Lambert, Linton Festival chair, said: “Linton Festival is a not-for-profit community event run by a committed team of volunteers who want to share their love of beer and music. We started the festival in 2001 and since then we’ve raised over £120,000 for our nominated charities.
“I am really excited about staging our 20th anniversary event. We should have been celebrating it two years ago but for obvious reasons that didn’t happen, which makes this year even more exciting. People are more than ready to return to live music events, and we can’t wait to welcome them back to Linton. We have an amazing line-up with something for everyone – whether it’s rock, pop or our favourite, rhythm ‘n blues – you won’t be disappointed.”
All the stops have been pulled out for the 20th anniversary with an impressive set of headline acts confirmed. Friday night features The Counterfeit Stones – described by Sir Mick Jagger himself as “the most famous Stones band in England”. Saturday welcomes the world famous and accomplished contemporary blues artist Walter Trout. The event wraps up on Sunday evening with One Night of Queen performed by Gary Mullen and the Works (winner of ITV’s ‘Stars in their Eyes’). As well as a whole host of other amazing bands and artists. The full line up can be found online at:
