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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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!
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.
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.
Absolutely lovely campsite, great atmosphere, felt really welcomed. Amazing views and great distance from local tourist attractions, will definitely be returning soon!
Thank-you very much for an enjoyable stay. It has been my favourite camping trip. I loved the adult only camp area. Highly recommended to friends.
