Hide AdOrganisers said: "This summer we present the world’s first socially-distanced, digitally-blended festival with our theme being ‘a place in the country'.
"We’ll be providing guests with a transformative weekend in nature, to reset, rebalance and to look together at some essential ideas of our time – for how we might live beyond summer.
"The event will be simultaneously live-streamed for those not able to attend in person."
The event will feature live music, speakers, comedy and food with 'sustainability are its core'.
Speakers include:
Business psychologist Margaret Heffernan
Social geographer Prof Danny Dorling
