The festival runs on Saturday 22 August from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. at Wollaton Hall's expansive grounds. This is a full day of music under the Nottinghamshire sky, with the kind of carefully curated line-up The Haçienda is known for. The event is 18+ only.
The vibe
Expect the spirit of the original club translated into an outdoor festival setting. Wollaton Hall's historic grounds provide a striking backdrop for electronic and indie acts, with plenty of space to move between stages and soak in the atmosphere. It's less sweaty basement, more open-air celebration of the same uncompromising ethos.
Getting tickets
Tickets are available through Skiddle. Prices haven't been confirmed yet, but given the scale of the line-up and venue, expect festival-standard pricing. Book early—events of this stature tend to shift quickly, especially in a city this size.
Where to stay
Nottingham's city centre is just a few miles from Wollaton Hall. We've picked a selection of hotels within easy reach of the venue below, ranging from budget chains to mid-range comfort for the full festival weekend.
Getting there
Nottingham is well-connected by train from across the UK—direct services run from London, Manchester, Birmingham and Leicester. By car, it's roughly two hours from Manchester, two and a half from London. The hall itself has on-site parking, though arriving early or using public transport on the day is wise for a festival of this size.
