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
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.
Overall, we really enjoy staying at the park and find it very friendly and well maintained.
Excellent staff. Very welcoming! They keep a very close eye on all aspects of the park and take immediate action to attend to any problems which arise.
Fantastic for the kids to play around the park and the walks in the nature trail.
We stayed for 2 nights in a tent. Our children loved it! They loved the parks, the outdoor pools, football pitches and large grassed areas throughout to play games.
Exceptionally clean shower block and very helpful friendly staff.
The staff are always very friendly and go out of their way to help. My daughter loves Warren Mill and is always in the park playing before we start setting things up. It’s a lovely friendly site that I often recommend to people I know.
Our daughter loves coming to Warren mill and has great fun. The staff are always helpful and friendly and we’ve made lots of great memories and look forward to making lots more soon.
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 absolutely love this place and will definitely return.
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.
