WHATS THE CRAIC?!
CAMPING • ALL INCLUSIVE DRINKS • FOOD TRUCKS • FREE PARKING
Hopestock is a private, invite-only, boutique festival presenting a unique environment to both party with mates and have an amazing family experience! It is truly an event like no other – enjoy all the best music, food and drink surrounded by like-minded people of the same demographic for 2 days of non-stop fun. For those with kids, awesome family memories await but it’s also a safe environment to let them run free and enjoy the plethora of entertainment laid on for them whilst you get stuck into the all-inclusive bar and cut loose to some awesome music in a beautiful setting. Your highlight of the summer awaits!
NOBODY
DOES IT
LIKE WE DO
2 DAYS OF FUN
back by popular demand
Following the success of Hopestock 2025 we are back by popular demand the last weekend of the school summer holidays 2027 with an incredible line up of bands across two days, Leeds’ finest DJs and even more fun crammed in for the kids! If you attended in 2025, the format is by and large the same. We’ll be at the same site located near Almscliffe Cragg, between Leeds and Harrogate – a perfectly sized field in a very picturesque spot. There’s loads of space for camping so bring your own tent / campervan or treat yourself to a glamping bell tent. If camping isn’t your thing there are local BnBs, hotels in nearby Harrogate and the site is close enough to Leeds to day trip it by taxi.
Interested?
TELL ME MORE!
The event is in every regard a proper, small festival with all that you’d expect from that. The site is split across 3 fields for camping, parking and the festival area where you’ll find our festival stage, kids tents & activities, food trucks, plenty of cover if the weather isn’t kind to us, festoon lighting to light things up after dark, and of course conveniences like toilets (lots of them, including posh ones in the camping field!).
Our legendary all-inclusive booze passes give you unlimited access to anything you could want. We’ll have a manned bar serving up quality cocktails, premium-brand spirits & mixers, wine and fizz. There’ll be pull-your-own real ale from our friends at Ilkley Brewery, self-serve keg taps by the awesome Vocation and cold boxes full of craft beers and ciders.
Taking place on the last weekend (for most!) of the school holidays, it’s the perfect way to see out the end of summer and there’s a training day or two to recover before school resumes. It’s a 2 day event with entertainment kicking off at midday on the Friday with kids’ fun and an afternoon of live music before our DJs take over. Saturday is a full day affair with kids’ activities throughout the day, live music and DJs from early on, all culminating in our ‘Rave In A Field’ party. Once again we’ll have our fire-pit area set up for an acoustic carry-on hosted by Gav & Joe into the early hours for those who want to. The What’s On page will be updated as acts and activities are confirmed.
SEE YOU THERE!

We turn 3 fields into a festival site in one big day! We have a team of 12 who make this happen in exchange for a free adult weekend ticket (value £140). It’s a full-on day, starting as early as 8am and finishing when we’re done – usually 6ish but possibly a touch later.
Tasks include: erecting fencing, building and stocking the bar, putting up signage, decorating structures, building furniture, being verbally abused by Hopie etc.
This always sells out the quickest – clearly pretty satisfying to see it all come together! – so act now if you’re keen.
it's a team effort

ENTERTAIN THE KIDS
Could you do any of the following for 2 or 3 hours: face painting, glitter tattoos, hair braiding, crafting, bracelet making, treasure hunt, musical entertainment, slime making… Something else?
Beyond the Music
We’re pretty sorted for DJs and live acts (though don’t let that stop you contacting us!) but we positively encourage suggestions for other activities for adults away from the main stage. In past years for example we’ve had whisky tasting and cocktail making, yoga and poetry. Hit us with your ideas!

ZARACH
This year we’re proud to support Zarach, a Leeds-based charity on a mission to end child bed poverty. Founded in 2017 after a primary school teacher discovered one of her pupils didn’t have a bed to sleep in, Zarach has since delivered thousands of bed bundles to children across the region – giving them a safe, warm place to sleep and a better chance to thrive at school.
1% of all adult ticket sale proceeds will go directly to Zarach, helping make sure no child in our community has to sleep without a bed.
