The festival is centered around its Common Stage – the heart of the festival; surrounded by bars, street food and chill out areas.

At Victorious Festival, there is enough to keep you occupied for hours! Market Way is the perfect walk from their Common Stage to their Castle Stage. Full of thrift stores, handmade goods, arts & crafts, food and even more entertainment!

For all families attending the festival, there is a kids arena full of entertainment & play areas, all free! With a traditional mini fairground, jungle buddies play bus, face-painting, bellacrafts, families magazine colouring tent, beach arena and a seating, baby change and breastfeeding area. Everything all in one place for families to indulge in a day out and enjoy a festival at ease.

They haven’t forgotten about the real ale lovers either! You can visit their brand new Real Ale Village, accompanied by a wide range of breweries (local and national) to ensure there will be something for every beer lover! But don’t worry about missing out while you’re in the Real Ale Village as there will be some tasty food vendors to soothe your hunger. You will also find the Mayfield Studio Stage, showcasing the best chill out tunes to accompany all of your ale needs.
