Beautiful Days – Escot Park

Beautiful Days is the Levellers’ own family music festival, held at Escot Park near Ottery St Mary every summer since 2003. It’s completely independent, with no sponsorship or corporate branding, just six stages of music, art installations across the site, a huge Children’s Area, family camping, folk sessions and walkabout theatre.

The whole weekend has a community feel. Real ale comes from Otter Brewery, and the food and craft stalls are carefully chosen rather than mass-market. It’s the kind of festival that sells out through word of mouth alone.

Beautiful Days regularly sells out well in advance, so it’s worth keeping an eye on tickets once they go on sale.
