Now entering it's 13th year of operations, Linton Festival has come a long way since its humble beginnings back in 2001. Taking place in a natural amphitheatre at the back of the Alma Inn in Linton, Linton Festival is host to three full days celebration of beer, food, and of course music. 

Now renowned for its exciting line ups of blues royalty, soul legends, and rock gods, Linton's family friendly extravaganza has asserted itself as an essential destination for fans of quality guitar music.

This year sees the likes of Irish blues rocker Pat McManus, former Whitesnake member Bernie Marsden (check out his skills in the video above), Hollywood based blues heroes Vintage Trouble, European Blues Award winners Gerry McAvoy's Band Of Friends and English soul pioneers Geno Washington & The Ram Jam Band hit the Herefordshire three-dayer. Check out the full Linton Festival line up here.

With a huge array of beers, ales, wines and spirits on offer too, accompanied by an excellent food menu, this hidden gem of a festival continues to garner an increased following that looks set to continue for some time. Head here to buy your Linton Festival tickets and get involved this year.
