August 2022 sees the first Wide Skies and Butterflies festival heading to Raynham Estate The festival’s name gives a shout-out to the big wide-open skies of Norfolk that have inspired poets and artists for centuries. And the Swallowtail butterfly – seen in the logo, is native to Norfolk, and is said to represent life, hope, endurance and change We think that sums it up perfectly… Wide Skies & Butterflies is about music, family, inclusivity, joy, and inspiration. It’s a safe place where people can come together to embrace and celebrate under our wide Norfolk skies of Raynham Estate! If you’d love a festival where you can enjoy a diverse range of live music from big names and local bands, dancing, local food and culture, comedy, the arts, equality, pride, camping, glamping, and safe activities for the children, then WS&B is for you. Abbie Panks, Head of Events and Marketing at Raynham Estate commented “There is a lot of excitement around the festival, and is a great way for us to showcase Raynham to those who may not have visited before. The line up is a fantastic, varied mix of artists and that coupled with the array of comedy, teen and childrens areas all makes for a festival to keep all ages entertained and a great addition to the East Anglian festival scene” Artists announced so far include The Vaccines, Hot Chip, James, Editors, Scouting for Girls, Cast, Natalie Imbruglia, Sleeper, The Levellers, Bimini Bon-Boulash, Faithless, Norman Jay MBE and lots more still to announce so keep your eyes peeled!
