500 capacity, family-friendly festival on a working Dorset farm.
(27)

Intimate, inclusive, grassroots festival fun :) x The Cursus Cider & Music Festival is brought to you by Fuelled By Cider in conjunction with Dorset Star Cider & DJ Dapper Dan's Skanking Delights. We offer high quality original and eclectic music as well as a great selection of cider, ales & food. This is a festival for people who want an uncomplicated good time. It is about good people, great mus

ic, superb cider and delicious food. There are no circus style distractions and there will not be loads of traders looking for your hard-earned cash. Just come along and chill in a beautiful part of the Dorset countryside. Families, tent campers and live-in vehicles are all welcome. Dogs are welcome too if kept on a lead and any mess cleared up. The historic Dorset Cursus runs through the festival site - hence the name! The festival runs from Friday to Sunday but for 2022 we have also added a FREE Thursday night option for weekend ticket holders! Tickets are very well priced and full info can be found here:

Previous events have sold out in advance so pre-booking is highly recommended. We look forward to seeing you down on the farm!

MORE ACTS!?! 🤯

Amongst the fanfare of our fresh new look last week, you may have spotted two brand new line-up additions!

We are very happy to bring to the Cursus Festival 2025 party...

- a high energy, multi-cultural, six-piece band specialising in a melting pot of the favourite fiesta world music styles that we love. They got everyone onto their feet at Cursus 2019 and they are coming BACK to do it again! 🕺💃

https://www.thebomoswing.com/

Alphalfa - an anarchic party band from the outlying locality of Cranborne Chase, infamous for their unique and interactive stage shows! They'll be keeping us up late and wildly entertained as the Friday midnight act in the Dirty Dorset Dance Tent 😎

Since tearing up Cursus and Outcider festivals in 2023 these local boys have truly done good with UK and EU headline tours, national radio play and an awesome debut EP 'Drunk Hymns'. They even stole the show at Reading Festival, solidfiying their growing reputation as one of the UK's most energetic, unpredictable, and all-around wild live acts 🎸🍻

Their music - a blend of raw punk, 90s-inspired indie-rock, UK hip-hop, and irresistible electronic elements - is all about living for the weekend: "anthems for the pissed-up and pissed-off" 😎

This will be their nearest hometown gig in the next 8 months so be sure to grab tickets for a wild weekend on the Cranborne Chase: www.cursusfestival.com

They couldn't make this year's festival due to injury but promised to come back next year and they are true to their word :)

Mixing trad folk, with modern alternative acoustic pop, Josh & Joe band have a sound that’s raw, fresh, familiar, and accessible.

2023 saw them complete their first UK tour with Frank Turner, followed by a support for The Levellers on their acoustic tour. Many big festival and venue gigs have followed, and the boys have already wowed the crowd at Outcider Festival and In Cider Festival.

Frank Turner also produced their acclaimed debut album ‘A New Beginning‘ which was released in January 2023, an album crammed full of barnstorming sing-a-longs ready to unleash on audiences across the UK and beyond!
