Whitebottom Farm

Whitebottom Farm is an outdoor festival site set within Etherow Country Park near Compstall, on the edge of Stockport. It's a working farm for most of the year, but spends a large proportion of the year as a fully working farm before being transformed into a festival site over the summer months. The site is listed with a capacity of around 5,000 and operates without fixed opening hours, running to the schedule of whichever event is on.

Rather than club nights, the farm hosts a run of outdoor festivals through late spring and summer. Buckle & Boots brings a country music crowd, while Moovin Festival leans into electronic and dance sounds, and Craic by the Creek focuses on Irish music. Firevolt Rock Festival rounds out the summer with a rock and metal line-up; it's a rock and metal festival held at Whitebottom Farm in Etherow Country Park, Stockport, UK, now in its third year at this writing, and has quickly built a reputation as one of the friendliest rock festivals on the circuit.

Getting there usually means parking off-site and walking or taking a shuttle through the country park, so it's worth checking individual festival travel pages before you go. With fields, woodland and a creek running through the site, it's as much about the setting as the music.
