A new family-friendly festival is coming to Leicestershire by the creator of Croatia’s Hideout Festival.
Blume Summer Camp, a three-day event, is a “celebration of music, food, nature and adventure, designed as much for parents as their children”.
From 6 to 8 August 2027, Stapleford Estate on the borders of Leicestershire and Rutland will host families for a weekend of electronic music, Balearic sounds, folk and jazz.
The festival has been created by husband-and-wife, Dan Blackledge, founder of Hideout Festival in Croatia, and singer Molly Blackledge, who represented the UK at Eurovision in 2014.
On the line-up so far are DJs including Erol Alkan, Luke Una, Jamz Supernova and Auntie Flo.
According to Blume: “Expect morning coffee raves in the woods, DJs before dinner and folk around the fire, with headliners on early so parents still get the tunes and enjoy the morning after.
“Three music spaces will include a listening lounge for vinyl and intimate performances, while Auntie Flo brings his Plants Can Dance project, turning signals from plants into music.”
Aside from the music, fire-cooked feasts by plant-based chef Gaz Oakley,
