BBC Radio 4 - On Your Farm, Festival Farmer

Sybil Ruscoe meets Pete Nosworthy, who runs a summer music festival on his cattle farm.

Getting to the heart of country life. Sybil Ruscoe meets Pete Nosworthy, Noz to his friends, who runs a summer music festival on his 70-acre cattle farm in Herefordshire.

Sybil Ruscoe meets Pete Nosworthy - Noz to his friends - who runs a summer music festival on his cattle farm in Herefordshire. It started out in 1998 as a family barbecue with friends singing round the campfire on his 70-acre farm. But it's grown into a festival with nine stages, which attracts 5,000 people. We find out how you turn a traditional farm into a party venue - from the licensing and safety, to ticketing and clearing up afterwards!
And we meet Pete's wife and two grown-up children who now work pretty much full time on planning the festival. The producer is Sally Challoner.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
