Agenda Festival is for the generation that came of age with Monty Python - think mini skirts and smokey rock concerts.

We have put together a sparkling day out, designed for Beatles’ fans no longer forced to work ‘Eight Days a Week’ and all those who can now explore the ‘Strawberry Fields’ at leisure.🍓🌾
