Cloudspotting 2014 will once again be taking place in the magnificent location of Stephen Park, Gisburn Forest, in August 2014.

As music acts jostle for position across the various stages of the ever-growing modern UK music festival, the little known Cloudspotting – more bijou than boutique – opts for a policy of ‘less is more’ in its pursuit of a summer weekend retreat of fine leftfield sounds and good company.

Cloudspotting is set in splendid isolation in the middle of a forest. The site, managed by the Forestry Commission, is set around a 16th century farmhouse, with a courtyard, playground and a large field wrapped around it, creating an ideal and spacious campground.

The main stage is located at the foot of this field, with the second stage enclosed in a walled area beside the courtyard. Everything is a short walk from each other and the two main stages are scheduled so they don’t clash. This not only avoids sound-clash but also means that attendees can catch all the outdoor action.
