STAMFORD RIVERSIDE FESTIVAL 2008

The Stamford Riverside Festival manages to not only cram in thirty acts across three stages in just one day, but it also has a full-blown beer festival included in the free event.

Now in its eighth year the festival returns to Stamford Meadows, Stamford, Lincolnshire with a selection of handpicked acts from the local area. The beer festival has around 30 real ales and ciders to try out and there is alternative entertainment, children's activities, a funfair and craft stalls.

There is also a Busker Stage which gives anybody the chance to get up and play acoustically.
