The festival, which takes place at Pikehall, near Matlock in the Derbyhire Dales, was founded in 2005. It is now well established as a favourite small festival.
This year’s event has now been postponed to July 28-31, 2022, so here’s some memories of past years to enjoy from our photo archives. Roll on next year! Website: ynotfestival.com
