It's back!
Jurassic Fields music festival is making its return this year to Asker Meadows in Bridport - the first time since 2019 due to the pandemic.
This year the festival will be held over three days with live music on Friday, July 8, Saturday, July 9 and Sunday, July 10.
The Pigeon Detectives will headline on Friday night, Mad Dog Mcrea on Saturday night and Scouting for Girls on Sunday night.
Mad Dog Mcrea
They will be among more than 30 acts performing over the weekend. Others include The Undercover Hippy, Cut Capers, Dr Meaker, Holy Moly and The Crackers, Arcade Hearts, Psychadelaphant, Shelby’s Elbows, plus many more.
Tickets are now on sale with an adult weekend ticket at £50 and with camping at £90.
A spokesman for the event said: "We have tried to keep Jurassic Fields a festival that is affordable so that all ages can enjoy. We have continued to make the event so that children under 12 can go free as well as offering various discounts on concession tickets.
"Since 2018 Jurassic Fields has allowed festival goers to be able to camp in the heart of Bridport to attend the festival with live-in vehicle pitches available. We have continued to expand our camping grounds for this year's festival. With just a short walk from the festival entrance there will be well lit footpaths to ensure attendees can arrive safely."
This year the campsite will be open from noon on Thursday, July 7.
The spokesman added: "Jurassic Fields remains as a not-for-profit organisation that is set up to support the incredible music talent that is predominant in Bridport and west Dorset. The long term goal is to provide the capital to set up a professional music rehearsal studio to be run by volunteers, allowing the sourcing and provision of grants to give local musicians the chance to expand their careers.
"We wouldn’t be able to put this event on if it wasn’t for the support of the community that supports our event as well as the continuous support from our returning and new sponsors.
"We invite you to come down to Jurassic Fields this year to enjoy our community, a range of music and good food to show how Bridport can put on an incredible event."
