Market Place

Market Place
Old Library - Custard Factory

After the success of launching last years 'Market Place' we're really excited about developing this area of the festival, a space for independent distributors, record labels,  poster artists and peddlers of curiosities to sell their wares, network and for you to meet face to face.  The Market Place is also where the bands sell their merch. This area is located in the 'Old Library' at the Custard Factory equipped with a tea room serving a selection of epicurean delights.

Open to the public on Saturday 25th of July from 4pm - midnight and then on Sunday 26th from 2pm - 10pm

Aurora Borealis
AB continues to mystify and confound with a seemingly random assortment of quality releases unfettered by genre in both CD and vinyl formats.  Also known for a fine array of distributed titles from around the world, AB ceaselessly seek out the true gems in an entirely subjective manner.
