Summer Festivals and Wedding Celebrations at BrackenXcapes

We had a superb time at our latest Summer Festival the SUMMER SHAKEDOWN festival here at Bracken Farm, BrackenXcapes in September this year! With some amazing bands, great food, crazy competitions and local draught beer & cider on tap, it really was a night to remember.

It went so well, we have already planned in next years Shakedown festival which is due to take place on Saturday 20th June 2026.

But how can you top it you may ask? Well, in 2026 we are extending the festival length with gates opening at 11am on the day and we will be filling the afternoon with some fantastic activities and experiences you are all welcome to come and get involved in. Think Rodeo bull riding, axe-throwing, welly tossing, open mic sets, more eating competitions and maybe even a bit of line dancing too. And yes you might have guessed it by now, we have a theme fixed for the event, being a good 'ol rootin' & tootin' Cowboys and Cowgirls!
