Todd in the Hole family friendly festival

The Todd Team have been working hard to bring a stellar line up to next years festival including, The Killerz, Amy Winehouse – A Tribute, Wham George Michael Tribute, Wrong Jovi, Mused, Dave Pearce, Pat Sharp plus loads more.

Ending the weekend in style on the Main Stage will be the legendary Martin Kemp and his Back to the 80's DJ Set.

Martin has been selling out across the country and with a reputation for huge singalongs on this rollercoaster ride through a trailblazing decade for pop music, the Sunday night at Todd promises to be one to remember.

All this, plus the return of the Woods Stage, Buskers Stage, Vincents Stage and a bigger and better Kids Arena to keep Little Todders entertained all weekend.
