AFTER a year long hiatus Larmer Tree Festival is returning for its 27th year.

A limited number of tickets are now on sale for the event, which takes place from July 19-22, 2018.

Creative director Sarah Dennehy said: "We are incredibly excited about Larmer Tree's return in 2018. I’m proud to be part of this remarkable festival and look forward to announcing my first Larmer Tree Programme in 2018.”

The festival is set in the Victorian gardens in the landscape of Cranborne Chase, an area of outstanding natural beauty nestled between Dorset and Wiltshire.

The 2016 line-up included the likes of Tom Odell, The Stranglers and Jamie Cullum, not to mention a star studded comedy stage as well as family activities and more.

The early bird tickets are priced at £165 for a standard ticket, £110 for 11-17 year olds, and under 10s free. They are available from larmertreefestival.co.uk.
