On a sunny day Bickerstock is an idyllic spot, but we can’t always rely on the sunshine so our large marquee is worth its weight in gold in case of inclement weather. It also provides good shade should we be lucky enough to need it!
The marquee houses ‘The Bar Stage’ at one end, as well as a bar, refreshments and tables and chairs. There is plenty of room for dancing come rain, hail or shine.

There will be 2 stages at Bickerstock, the main stage outside ‘The Garden Stage’, and a more intimate space for acoustic style music, ‘The Bar Stage’, in the main marquee. This allows us to offer a wide variety of all styles of music to suit all tastes throughout the weekend.

Bands, artists and musicians are local and all play for free, as all our proceeds go to charity. So go on, give them an extra cheer.

Licensed refreshments are available from the bar, from wines to locally brewed ales; there’s something to suit everyone’s tastes.

There is a superb range of food and nonalcoholic beverages to satisfy all tastes. Here’s what’s on offer and when so you can plan your munchies with your music!

The Trinity Tea Shop

Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, juices, lots of homemade cakes and other goodies are available from Gladys’s fabulous tea stand from 11am onwards. Come and put your feet up, have a natter and a cuppa, and be entertained by the bands. All proceeds from this stall go to Holy Trinity Church, Bickerstaffe.

The Barrow Nook Barbeque

The Barbecue is run by the Barrow Nook Community Bar-b-Crew, long standing Bickerstaffe residents who are masters of the hot coals.

From 11am until 10pm there will be flame-grilled burgers, hot dogs, hot pies and sausage rolls available. All are locally sourced, and both meaty and veggie options will be available, as will water and soft drinks.

Bickerstock Breakfast

Served in the bar. Breakfast barms (bacon, sausage and egg) with tea and coffee will be available from 7:30am until people stop buying them on Saturday and Sunday mornings

Pagoda

For a taste of Latin America look no further than Pagoda. A small crew of dedicated Barrow Nookers will serve up delicious tacos and nachos topped with home-made 12-hour chipotle beef, chicken tinga or a black bean veggie chilli. Look out for the fabulous pico de gallo to top things off! All can be served with an ice-cold soft drink or refreshing water.
