Deer Shed Festival returns to Baldersby Park, Topcliffe, from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 July.

With a capacity of just 7,000, it offers an intimate and welcoming atmosphere for the whole family – packed with a host of free workshops and activities for the kids.

The festival always has a theme, and this year’s event appears set to once again wow its happy campers.

The Wilderwild is a place shrouded in mystery and magic on the fringes of Baldersby Park, a place where nature has been left to its own devices for many years to create a wilderness filled with adventure, craft and creativity for Deer Shedders to explore.
