Leeds’ First Open-Air Forest Experience – A Festival Like No Other

Step into a world where music, nature, and art collide—Leeds' first open-air forest experience awaits, hidden deep within the ancient grounds of Hazelwood Castle. Let the spirit of the woods guide your mind, body, and soul as you embark on an unforgettable 10-hour journey of sound, creativity, and connection.

Over the past year, Arrival Events and Testbed have been redefining the scene, curating some of the most electrifying events and working with top-tier talent. From Max Dean to Teletech, Girls Don’t Sync to Sammy Virji, and Ruckus24—their track record speaks for itself. Now, they’re gearing up for their biggest event yet: a full-day summer spectacle in the heart of nature.

This isn’t just about the music—though with a lineup like this, it easily could be. Expect an immersive festival experience, with The Amphitheatre – Hosted by Slapfunk Records, bringing deep grooves and underground energy.

The Treehouse – Powered by Ruckus24, delivering high-energy beats beneath the forest canopy. A world-class lineup:Mella Dee, Dxnby, Voigtmann, Josh Demello, Rossi, Laidlaw, and the latest addition—Prospa—guarantee a genre-spanning journey from pumping minimal to high-energy house and rolling breakbeats.

This event offers more than just an outstanding lineup. Attendees can take part in a range of immersive experiences, including yoga and wellness sessions, art exhibitions, live storytelling around the campfire, a hippy market with unique finds, and a selection of high-quality food to keep you going throughout the day.

More than just a festival, this is an escape—blending cutting-edge music with holistic and creative elements. Ruckus24’s journey from intimate club nights at Distrikt to curating an open-air forest event is remarkable, and this collaboration with Slapfunk Records promises to deliver something truly special.
