Bloodstock is the UK's biggest independent metal festival, showcasing over 120 acts across four days in the grounds of Derbyshire's beautiful Catton Hall.

Having been established in 2001, Bloodstock has grown from a one day event into one of the country's most prestigious festivals thanks to its mix of international and underground artists, and is now a key event in the heavy metal calendar.

But beyond its music lineup, festival-goers will also find a diverse programme of comedy, as well as karaoke, a mini-fairground and many more quirky surprises, including the Rock And Metal Gallery, where festival-goers can admire a diverse exhibition of rock 'n' roll art, photography and specially created guitars.
