Derwent Fest 2025
Derwent Fest takes place for the fourth time in 2025. This family-friendly festival is a unique take on the summer festival vibe. Set in the North Pennines and bordering Durham and Northumberland, Derwent Waterside Park offers a camping festival experience under designated dark skies.
This year’s event pays tribute to some of the biggest artists topping the charts today and in years gone by. Taking place on 15 & 16 August 2025, Derwent Fest kicks off on Friday evening with a journey through the decades from 60s classics and 70s hits, to the Ska sounds of the 80s.
On Saturday some of the UK’s top tribute bands will take to the stage paying homage to acts including OASIS, Sam Fender, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Queen and ABBA.
We love Waren, it is one of our favourite sites. We feel so at home there. It was the first ever site we went to, for our first trip out in our first touring caravan, for our daughter’s second birthday celebrations. It is a tradition now that we go every year for her birthday, and have just done it for the third year running. We love it so much. And long may it continue. Cant wait to try the sister sites, as she gets older. Brilliant site, lovely atmosphere, keep up the good work guys! Thankyou x
Exceptionally clean shower block and very helpful friendly staff.
A really great park, fab shower and amenity block. We are new to the motorhome scene and this site has strengthened our commitment to our new freedom Thank you for a great site!!!
We hired your BBQ hut and what a fab idea it was! Kids loved it, it was a fab little experience.
Superb place and facility. I’ve never been to Northumberland, and now will be returning back for the third time in 9 months (even though you are 360 miles away from me).
Overall, we really enjoy staying at the park and find it very friendly and well maintained.
We have stayed at this park many times and always return it’s a lovely clean well maintained park with super layout in the touring field for the kids playing on the field/park. Family shower rooms really really good and clean. We have also stayed at the other 3 parks you have but Waren is our favourite for a close to home weekend away! Thanks.
Nice park in an excellent location for touring Northumberland. Good facilities and friendly staff.
Having previously mainly stayed at Parkdean Caravan Parks on the south coast I was unsure what to expect, we were delighted with the caravan we stayed in, much better than previous holidays, so clean and spacious, and a great price. Really felt comfortable and safe, which as a single mum of 11 and 13 year old lads is always my concern, so thank you very much for a perfect holiday.
We very much enjoyed the campsite. The kitchen area for wigwam users was a great touch and made a huge difference to our dining options. All public areas well maintained and clean.
We love this park as the caravans are excellent and always well maintained and of course the Northumberland coast is beautiful.
Even in October for our last stay we found the park to be in superb condition. A great tribute to the hard working park staff which was much appreciated. We look forward to returning.
