The Magpies

The Magpies Festival will take place on 8th and 9th August 2025 at Sutton Park Stately Home, near York. The boutique festival offers an eclectic line-up of folk, americana, acoustic, swing, world music and everything in between. The independent two-day festival is run by Yorkshire-based transatlantic folk band, The Magpies. The young, female management team are set on championing gender equality in the music industry, achieving gender parity in both line-up and staff, as well as providing a safe and comfortable environment for female musicians and festival goers. Rooted in the band’s native Yorkshire, the local community is central to the festival's ethos. The event aims to support local businesses and provide opportunities for emerging musicians. With a family ethos and activities to keep even the youngest of revellers entertained, the festival’s ambition is to introduce young adults to the world-class folk music that makes it so special. Camping is hosted in the stunning grounds of Sutton Park Stately Home, and food, drinks and market stalls are supplied by independent suppliers. Tickets are on sale now from £35 with day, weekend and camping options available. Children under 5 go free.
