The Croissant Neuf Summer Party

This year the Croisant Neuf Summer festival is back and bigger than ever before. Featuring many acts including the critially acclaimed Ed Sheeran ('The A-Team' charted number 3 in the UK recently), as well as locally sourced foods, drink and crafts on top of a programme of activities throughout the weekend, CNSF is the place to be for festivals this August.

Ed Sheeran

With a tour that is close to selling out due to his huge online following, and recent great sucess both in the charts and at Glastonbury this is the perfect opportunity to see this 20-year old sensation perform in a spectacular, yet still intimate, setting.

Beauty and Intimacy

Located near an Iron Age fort in the beautiful countryside near Usk, the setting is almost worth the entry fee alone! This festival only allows 2000 people on site, giving it a relaxed, safe and intimate air which is perfect for enjoying the events and stalls.

Environmentalism

It's not just the music that makes Croissant Neuf Summer Party the stand-out festival this Summer. This family-oriented festival follows a pioneering and innovative approach to tackling green issues and has recently won a string of awards including a Green Parent Highly Recommended Award, the People and Environment (PEA) Award in the Arts and Music category , and a Greenest Festival in the UK Award for two years running.

All power on site from the magnificent Big Top's lighting and sound system to the refrigerators, are solar powered and huge battery banks ensure the music doesn't stop when the sun goes down!! The food stalls offer fresh, organic and locally sourced food all perfectly washed down with an organic tipple from the Stagger Inn.

Croissant Neuf are proud to report that festival goers at last year's Summer Party generated on average less than 50% of the CO2 than if they'd stayed at home and had a normal weekend.

The Campfire
At the centre of the festival lies the communal campfire, surrounded by hand carved benches, this is the place for late night sing-a-longs, sitting down with a stone-baked pizza in the afternoon, a morning coffee or just generally soaking up the atmosphere – and the views of the valley are great from here too!
