Summer 2021

Having had to take a year off owing to the pandemic, both the Gate to Southwell Festival and Underneath the Stars came back stronger than ever this year. With a stunning new lakeside site in Kirklington – just outside Southwell – and open-air stages, audiences were wowed by what the organisers had achieved at GTSF, whilst Underneath the Stars adapted their lovely site next to the beautiful village of Cawthorne to great effect.

For next year, Underneath the Stars will be sticking with the same time of year (the 29th-31st of July), whereas the Gate to Southwell will be moving to midsummer; specifically, the 14th-17th of July. Applications to work on both bars are now open – see our Volunteer page for details.

“Just wanted to send an email saying it was an absolute blast being able to work with you guys over the past few days. Thank you so much for the opportunity to work on bar. I really did have a lot of fun. 

Hope to see you again next year for the festival :)”
