Land Hire for a weekend? (Yorkshire/Lancashire area)

Hi All,

I'm investigating the viability of running a small music festival over a weekend (Fri-Sun), and am looking for some suitable land to hire. The further away from residential areas the better really - we don't want to be annoying people nearby!

We'd certainly be playing by all the rules on this, as we'd like to continue to run in years to come, so would be applying to the council for a temporary event notice (TEN) licence and adhering to any terms they set. This would allow us a maximum of 499 people in total.

The initial plan would be to sell tickets for £20-30 or so, which would cover the essentials like land-hire, toilets, power, security, insurance, tents, fencing etc.

We understand that your land is important, so our mission would be to 'leave no trace' when it comes to litter. We'd also have a no-glass policy for the event.

I'd love to hear from anyone that would potentially be interested with working with us on this - If you've any reservations/concerns, we'll be totally happy to do what we can to work around them!
