Black Deer Festival

📜 History

Black Deer Festival launched in 2018 as the UK's first festival dedicated to Americana, country, and roots music. Held in the stunning Eridge Park in Kent, it combines world-class music with BBQ competitions, whiskey tastings, and craft markets. The festival takes its name from the black deer that roam the historic parkland. With headline sets from legends like Robert Plant and Van Morrison, it has quickly become a must-visit event for fans of rootsy, authentic music. The festival is family-friendly and celebrates American roots culture in a quintessentially English setting.
