In the last few years most small boutique festivals have at least doubled in size. It is a pleasure to hear about one that has started purposely very small to encourage the right people and the right vibe. This year Natural Rhythm Festival have begun with the intention to provide what they believe is missing from the world of festivals; an intimate experience in the great British outdoors.

The festival will only sell 1500 tickets but they still have a fantastic, varied line up and are providing interactive art throughout the secluded woodland and lush field site in Ely, Cambridgeshire.

At the height of the festival there will be four arenas with Funktion One sound-systems playing something for everyone. So far the headliners include DJ Marky, Krafty Kuts, Mungo’s Hi Fi and Clive Henry.

The founders have over 20 years experience of pioneering some of the best electronic music events East Anglia has ever seen so we can be confident that they have the know-how to make this work. Interestingly, one of the founders, Stuart Banks, started the Eclipse raves in the early 90s and then went on to run the first dance music festival in East Anglia. Natural Rhythm’s line up may be a current music nod to his dance music roots in the area.

As well as their varied music policy Natural Rhythm promises extraordinary encounters. Highlights include an acoustic music camp-fire and alternative Olympic games (hosted by http://www.taxdeductible.co.uk), a live street art exhibition resulting in a street art charity auction and, for the child inside you, there will be hair, make up and dress up stalls and a traditional ferris wheel and helter skelter.
