It's Saturday lunchtime.
The gates are open, the bar is serving, the food vendors are busy preparing lunch and the first notes from the main stage drift across the festival field.
You grab a drink, find a spot with friends and settle in for a day of fantastic live music.
Primrose opens the stage before a packed line-up of folk, indie, reggae, ska, party classics and crowd favourites keeps the atmosphere building throughout the day.

As the sun begins to set, the music keeps coming, the drinks keep flowing and the atmosphere becomes something truly special.
This is what Moon Dance is all about.
