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.
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.
We have travelled all over the UK in our motor home. Waren Mill was one of the first sites we stayed at and has remained our favourite!
We absolutely love this place and will definitely return.
Overall, we really enjoy staying at the park and find it very friendly and well maintained.
Fantastic for the kids to play around the park and the walks in the nature trail.
Loved our holiday here. Was pretty much perfect for us with small children. Have already booked to return twice in the summer.
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.
A great find, can’t recommend the park enough to others whether seasoned campers or first timers…
Absolutely lovely campsite, great atmosphere, felt really welcomed. Amazing views and great distance from local tourist attractions, will definitely be returning soon!
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.
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.
Excellent park, easy to get to, will definitely recommend to friends and family and will return in the future.
