As we are starting to see more high-end underground music festivals crop up in the more southern regions of the UK, one in particular has caught our attention.
This year we have teamed up with Virgo Festival, which launched last year and is nestled in the beautiful surroundings of the Devonshire countryside in Dunsford, Exeter. Last year it attracted over 500 people to its 800 year-old mansion, which is built around a cobblestone courtyard and sits above a magical lake.
Its intimacy is what makes Virgo special, as it hasn’t got lost in the commercial elements of it all – the bonus of being a newer festival. The festival takes place at the end of May bank holiday weekend 2016 (no work Monday!), with the gates opening on the afternoon of Friday 27th of May and closing on the afternoon of Monday 30th of May.
