ZENFest 2021 is set to build on its already cultured and boutique experience with a brand new and stunning location in the rolling green landscapes of Essex’s Kelvedon Hall. On Saturday 4th September, you’re invited to a secret hideaway amongst ancient woodland at the end of a long driveway and party by the glistening lake in front of a historic Edwardian house with world class sounds from tastemaking homegrown talents including Richy Ahmed, ANOTR, Rossi, Pat Wilson, Max Dean, Ryan Resso, DJ Caspa, Funk Cartel. Sign-Up to the newsletter for pre-sale tickets at zenfestofficial.com

Since 2018, ZEN Fest has carefully yet confidently become a much talked about event for those who like personal vibes, intimate dancing and friendly crowds. That’s because it was a festival born in a garden, so has never lost that personal touch despite becoming a nationally recognised event. ZENfest is all about the customer experience so people feel like they enter another world when they arrive on site thanks to the exquisite decorations and themes which mostly centre around the art of ZEN – so think dragons, pandas, bamboo and lanterns and you will be in the right headspace. 

It is a festival that has always focussed on the small details that make the whole experience that bit more special – VIP sections with queue jump, private cocktail bars, luxury toilets, luxury seating and a private lakeside garden area. The location is a beautiful mansion house with extensive formal gardens beneath wide open blue skies. From the front of the house and facing onto a perfectly manicured lawn is the most incredible view of uninterrupted countryside, all the way to London on the horizon. Add in two stages with stunning visuals, world class sound and forward thinking stage designs and you have a festival that is all about ensuring a zen state of mind and hedonistic experience that leaves people desperate for more. 

Say founders Stefan Poelman and Sam Cottrell, who were just 18 when they first started the Zen brand aged just 18, firstly as a clothing range,  “For us we just wanted to create the best event we could think of, we just wanted to include all the different things that we enjoy personally and could think of and turn it into a reality. We’re not just here to make money, we want the event to be the best it can be. You’ll definitely see us in the crowd on the day enjoying ourselves. We really are our own target audience.” 

This year the festival will be bigger and better than ever before but as always will give a platform to smaller local DJs next to international names. This means the likes of Ibiza regulars and chart topping house and tech producers Richy Ahmed and ANOTR will be joined by Rossi, Pat Wilson, Max Dean, Ryan Resso, DJ Caspa, Funk Cartel and more to be announced. 

ZEN Fest 2021 promises to bring some special vibes back into your life. It will be a much needed chance to cut loose, forget your daily woes and step into a magical music wonderland where majestic new memories await to be made. 

Lakota – https://www.facebook.com/events/431541688149372

Let’s party like it’s 1992! The year Lakotas doors first opened.Lakota kickstart summer with a secret post-pandemic party on the first Saturday lockdown restrictions are fully lifted. With a second part coming the day after! 

With all of us having been forced to spend the best part of a year stuck inside, you can be forgiven for being excited for the summer again, as the way out of the latest quarantine begins to gain momentum. And what better to look forward to than a secret party from the brains behind Bristol’s historic nightclub Lakota?

After more than 30 years, rave style events appear to be gaining popularity once more, look no further than Lakota’s upcoming party utopia. On the first Saturday that ‘proper raves’ can take place again (currently 26^th June) Lakota will hold their own festival; Summer Of Love which as the name suggests, will pay tribute to the era of raves that took place before the turn of the millennium. Expect disco, house and techno at this massive event. What’s more, due to huge demand a second day (27th June) has now been scheduled, with the music focus for that one shifting to drum & bass, jungle, baseline, UK Funky and Garage sounds. 

The ‘Summer Of Love’ facebook event has already gained huge interest on social media, and given that the initial release of tickets sold out in less than 18 hours, the team have warned anyone wanting to join the fun to act fast, as tickets are extremely limited.

The festival’s location is just a short distance from Bristol’s centre, however, the exact location will remain a secret until the day of the event. Return bus tickets will be available to shuttle customers to and from the festival; buses will pick you up from and return you to the center of Bristol. Unlike the ephemeral illegal parties that have sprung up during lockdown, the ‘Summer Of Love’ guarantees nine hours of music covering disco, house, techno, liquid DnB and UK funky from Lakota’s residents and special guests!

After a long and difficult year, the Lakota team are working hard to give everyone something truly special to look forward to and hope to kickstart the summer in a truly memorable way. If you are interested in joining Lakota’s ‘Summer Of Love – Return Of The Day Party’ make sure you buy a ticket soon as a limited release of tickets have just been released – www.lakota.co.uk

Candypants have been at the forefront of some of the world’s most exciting, exhilarating and memorable events since 2008. After spending the last 13 years bringing the party to every corner of the globe and growing a Candypants family of partygoers, it was only a matter of time before they carved out our very own corner of the world to host our most adventurous and pioneering experience to date, and that is One Island.

This weekend getaway will offer the famous Candypants experience and atmosphere, only bigger, better and crazier than anything before, all with a vital selection of the UK’s best DJ talent from across the musical board.

The tide goes out just twice a day, meaning partygoers can hide away from the world in their own private piece of paradise. 

There’ll be feasting and brunching aplenty with a contemporary selection of interesting independent food trucks and brands from vegan and veggie options to mouthwatering Chinese, burger and dessert offerings. As well as that, you can look forward to dancing, glamping, beach hopping, unmissable music, food, cocktail bars, beach BBQs, pool parties, sunset raves, and partying like there’s no tomorrow. All of this is encompassed in a magical world of breathtaking beauty, where you’ll find it impossible to not fall in love with every natural element around. 

Think the wind in your hair as you dance into the night. The fire of a freshly lit BBQ or roaring bonfire. The cool waters of a pool lagoon paradise. The sandy earth between your toes as you lie on the beach shores. You see after a year of chaos, we think it’s about time we brought partying right back to basics again…

One Island will take all possible precautions to ensure this festival is as safe as possible, but in a way that means every can still have the time of their lives.

MiNT Festival to relocate to a 136-acre permanent site at Newsam Green, 10 minutes from Leeds City Centre £5 Million investment creating a purpose-built festival site.

The one-day event returns on 25^th September 2021, with tickets almost sold out.

Mintfestival.co.uk

MiNT Festival, now in its 10^th year has finally come home to roost in their new 136-acre location, at Newsam Green Farm, bought by the team itself in a £5 million pound investment. The stunning Farm is situated just outside Leeds city centre and offers a naturalistic setting with barns, forests and orchards all set to provide the back drop to a world class line up that will be announced soon.

With over 20 years experience, the team behind the iconic MiNT brand, including The MiNT Club and MiNT Warehouse, have hosted some of the UK’s high-profile parties and festivals. MiNT Festival is one of the UKs most reputable electronic music festivals and over the years they’ve attracted an enviable line-up to Leeds that spans across the genres.

Previous events have historically been staged at a range of venues including Wetherby Racecourse, Tetley Brewery, Stockeld Park and more recently The RAF base & Leeds East Airport in Church Fenton. However, the new site, established at Newsam Green Farm, will now offer a permanent base becoming Yorkshire first ever dedicated Festival sites. 

Founder, Shane Graham said:

“We have taken MiNT Festival all over Leeds, Wetherby and as far as Lincoln showground in search for a home that provided an atmosphere the attendees deserve. We have been looking for a permanent site for the last 3 years and have finally found the location that ticks all the boxes. We are extremely happy to have acquired the Farm; not only is it 10 minutes out of the city centre, but it also boasts acres of greenery, woodland and amazing views that make the perfect background for a Music Festival. Now that we have a permanent home, we can channel our energies into developing the amazing features and make sure Leeds is home to one of the best festival sites in the UK!”  

Newsam Green Farm is fantastically accessible with a convenient location in LS15 near Temple Newsam, just off junction 45 on the M1 and 10 minutes from the city centre. Originally an open coal mine and then a livestock farm, it extends over 136 acres and comprises a farmhouse, a range of agricultural buildings, 123 acres of grassland and acres of woodland plus the added bonus of unique Leeds City centre views!

The promoters are investing £5 million into the project to transform the site into the ultimate festival site with the aim to maintain existing elements wherever possible, Baz Arjomand Co Owner added:

 “Our long-term vison for the farm is to continue to develop the concept whist trying to maintain as many of the original natural features on the site as possible. The bricked garden orchard will be home to one of the arenas and we plan to incorporate some of the outbuildings into our VIP and food villages. By purchasing our own venue, it allows us to invest in the long-term infra-structure, providing purpose-built arenas with incomparable sound quality – something that the MINT brand prides it’s self on”.

After a year off due to COVID-19 MiNT Festival will return on 25th September 2021, promising to take things to an even higher level with its biggest and best line-up to date. Festival-goers can expect an all-day party with the usual top-tier acts followed by the festivals legendary after parties.

Baz continued “Due to COVID 19 last year’s event was postponed and all existing tickets were transferred to this year’s event. As soon as the Roadmap was revealed demand for tickets went through the roof, and we sold 6 months of tickets in less than 48 hours! The appetite for the event has been phenomenal! We have been working extremely closely with the safety advisory officers at Leeds City Council and the event has been granted a license for up to 15,000. With only a couple of thousand tickets remaining once we announce the artist line-up, we expect to sell-out”

The all-day festival, spanning over several arenas promises to feature curated, world renowned DJs and artists from across the electronic music spectrum. Recent MiNT Festival line-ups have featured the likes of Craig David, Skepta, Marco Corola, MK to name but a few.  This year’s line-up which will be announced in the coming weeks is expected to be the best yet.
