Tickets for the 12th Silloth Music and Beer Festival go on sale this Friday (March 30th).As well as 75+ real ales and ciders, we have a fantastic line up that we hope appeals to all who attend to our festival.

Alongside that will be a chance for YOU to be the star, as we bring Rockaoke to Cumbria for the first time. Rockaoke gives festival goers the chance to perform alongside a live rock band, and they have endless celebrity fans including Chris Moyles, Chris Evans and Justin Lee Collins to name just a few! We also have some fantastic talent for you from our Battle of the Bands competitions. Morecambe band, Scarred ID, will play with a blistering set of original rock tunes. Local bands, The Pulse and Brightside will play a mix of classic covers and original material and as we write this there is one more place up for grabs at the final battle, on March 31st in Workington.
