This is because no matter how many festivals appear on the scene, there is always room for more, so expect further stand-out events to continue to flourish during the summer as more festivals are added to the calendar each year. From recent additions to the season such as Latitude to events that have been a mainstay of the season for decades, like the Reading Festival, there is something for everyone.
Another unique addition to the landscape, and one that will have people hoping to pick up festival tickets as soon as possible, is Harvest at Jimmy’s, which has been appearing in Jimmy Doherty’s farm in Ipswich since 2009. Not only does it offer an array of live music acts like various other festivals, it also features a range of television chefs and other cooking experts, meaning that there are plenty of things to see and do for all of the family. It proves that there really is a festival out there for everybody.
In 2009 the celebrity chefs that appeared included James Martin, James Wong and Gino D’Acampo, amongst others, alongside music acts like Badly Drawn Boy, Seth Lakeman and Jose Gonzalez. Fast forward to 2010 and the line-up, when it was revealed, proved to be another stand-out list of names. The cooking experience of the festival included Tom Barker-Bowles, The Hairy Bikers, Atul Kochhar and Angela Harnett, amongst others, whilst the bands include impressive names like The Futureheads, Scouting for Girls, Kate Rusby, Jo Whiley, The Hoosiers and more. So each year that Harvest at Jimmy’s returns to the scene, expect festival tickets to be enormously popular draws as families head out to Suffolk to relish in the sights and sounds.
After all, whilst witnessing bands like those mentioned at their own shows is a spectacular experience in its own right, it is nothing compared to witnessing them as part of an impressive festival line-up. The atmosphere found at these kinds of events, with plenty of people enjoying the sunshine, is unbeatable and for many people nothing can compare to witnessing loads of bands in one setting. Then, with Harvest at Jimmy’s, with celebrity chefs added to the mix this is truly a unique experience.
So just when you thought you knew of all the high profile events appearing in the summer months across the country, more festivals are added to the calendar. With Harvest at Jimmy’s appearing from 2009 to the modern day, it has proven to be a spectacular experience for fans of cookery and music to come together and join in on the fun.
