Elderflower Fields isn’t just a festival, it’s a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the next generation of talent!
We’re proud to support grassroots music and provide pathways into the industry for young people through local partnerships, offering a platform for emerging artists.
Our brand-new hidden acoustic ‘Skylark’ stage in the woods will be handed over to a host of young and talented performers during the day.
Join long-time festival partners Rhapsody Artists Development after their regular morning Dragonfly Stage performance for RAD Solos on the Skylark.
Next up, we’re delighted to welcome Brighton’s creative arts college BN1 Arts, and their talented young artists take over the afternoon Skylark sessions.
Also on Saturday’s Skylark stage, Jeya, Kathleen Marsh, Izzie Derry, Lori Asha and more rising stars, to be announced.
On Sunday, BIMM Music Institute opens doors to the music industry with a showcase of some of their finest local students. Plus, Mr Tambourine Stan treats us to Bob Dylan’s greatest hits, while singer songwriter Megan Wardroper explores love, loss and the peculiarities of being human. Many of these kids have grown up at Elderflower Fields, including The Pepperheads who open the main stage on Friday.
From our diverse lineup to hands-on workshops for all ages, Elderflower Fields is all about inspiring the creative spirit. 
As part of our continued support for emerging talent, we also welcome the showstopping sound of Rylee Somers to the Dragonfly Stage and Mia Reed & The Vandebilts for their first main stage festival gig. London’s Youth Sayers deliver their own unique takes on classic and contemporary pieces of music from the world of dub and Afro-jazz.
We’d like to thank everyone involved in helping support young artists and events professionals and keeping grassroots music fresh and alive.
