“Freddie and The Feens spent nearly a decade building a massive reputation on the UK indie circuit.

"Having graced iconic stages from the Isle of Wight Festival to the Scarborough Open Air Theatre, Freddie has shared the spotlight with industry giants like The Kooks and James.

" It promises to be another amazing night of live music in our unique setting overlooking the stills.”

The event is on Saturday October 31, doors open at 615pm and music starts at 7pm.
