Deerstock is a wonderfully small but beautiful family music festival in Nottinghamshire organised by festival-goers for festivals goers, on a not-for-profit basis. The Deerstock Collective is a group of volunteers who put their own time and energy into making a great weekend. The aim of the event is primarily to raise funds for good causes.
With 3 stages including a late night acoustic open mic, a professional magician, a drumming workshop, circus skills for kids & adults, a craft tent, children’s activities, workshops, a well-stocked bar, and an excellent selection of food and festival stalls we are sure there is something for everyone. Dates for Deerstock 2023 are July 28th-30th.
Saturday is our invitation day where we invite a local Promoter to curate a stage, we have been very fortunate to have had local legends “I’m not from London” for the past few years bringing us a wide genre of musical acts. Sunday is normally a themed day and for 2023 we are celebrating Americana with some great bands.
Deerstock feels the event is a chance to experience a ‘proper’ music festival in a field with camping and the chance to meet other families and festival goers in a small safe environment. Set in the picturesque Nottinghamshire countryside, Deerstock really is a perfectly petite family-friendly festival.
We have managed to achieve our unbelievable goal of raising £100K for various charities over ten years. Charities supported in the past include Nottingham Children’s Brain Tumour Research Centre, Notts Air Ambulance, Nottingham Emmanuel House, Nottingham Women’s Centre, UNICEF, Alzheimer’s Society, Help for Heroes, CALM, Reach (Notts centres for adults with learning difficulties), The Lee Bonsall Memorial Fund, The Roy Stone Foundation & Nepal Earthquake Fund amongst others.
