Organisers said: "This summer we present the world’s first socially-distanced, digitally-blended festival with our theme being ‘a place in the country'.

"We’ll be providing guests with a transformative weekend in nature, to reset, rebalance and to look together at some essential ideas of our time – for how we might live beyond summer.

"The event will be simultaneously live-streamed for those not able to attend in person."

The event will feature live music, speakers, comedy and food with 'sustainability are its core'.

Speakers include:

Business psychologist Margaret Heffernan

Social geographer Prof Danny Dorling
