Where: Riverside Park, Lechlade

When: May 26 to May 28, 2017

Record numbers are expected at Lechlade Music Festival this weekend as fantastic weather welcomes festival-goers.

Now in its seventh year, the award-winning festival has grown into a much-anticipated bank holiday activity for families and music-lovers.

Festival director and founder Jennie Rainsford says: "We've seen the festival grow from a few hundred people to several thousand.

"Sales have shot up this year and the fabulous weekend weather forecast has prompted even more sales in the last few days. We're expecting a record turn-out."

Indie band The Hoosiers, R & B legends Dr. Feelgood and Mod band The Lambrettas headline this year's festival, along with over 100 bands, performers and DJs on four stages.

A late addition to the programme is the new Comedy Stage, which on Sunday features Australian comedy star Colin Cole.

"The new stage is being hosted by Cheltenham-based comedy troupe Knowing Smirk," says Jennie. "It's a brilliant addition, our festival-goers are going to be spoilt for choice."

A new Dance Music Zone will feature over 20 top DJs, some of whom are flying in from Europe just to play at Lechlade.

The festival runs from Friday, May 26 to Sunday, May 28 at the picturesque Riverside Park in Lechlade, by the River Thames.

Tickets are available on the gate, cash only. They cost £65 for a weekend adult ticket and from £20 for a day ticket. Children 16 and under go free.
