A DORSET cider and music festival is to return next year with strong line-up of performers booked and fun for the family.

The Cursus Cider & Music Festival will return to Myncen Farm just off Blandford Road on the bank holiday weekend of May 26 to 28, 2023.

Now in its eighth year, Cursus is a small festival with a big reputation for original live music and entertainment.

Organisers recently announced the initial 2023 line-up, boasting headliners Skinny Lister, The Longest Johns, Imperial Leisure and The Dreadnoughts, plus twenty other acts including Skimmity Hitchers, Sound Of The Sirens, Gaz Brookfield, Riskee & The Ridicule, Cosmic Ninja and Samantics.

Located at Myncen Farm (the home of Cranborne Chase Cider), Cursus offers a simple festival experience based around people and good music. It is family friendly with a dedicated DIY Den activity area for kids, and live-in vehicles are welcome – as are tent campers.

With a spacious camping area, late night camp fire and DJ tent, organisers say this is a festival to relax, make new friends and party.

Festival organiser Kev Davis said: “We're proud of our reputation as a down to earth, fun and inclusive event and we can't wait to welcome everyone back for a bank holiday to remember.”

Previous years have sold out in advance so early booking is recommended. Visit cursusfestival.com for more information.
