2011 will be our 9th festival and like those before we anticipate an early sell out, so make sure you are among the lucky 500 who will secure tickets for what promises to be another great event in this tiny Cumbrian village with a population of less than 150 residents.

Ireby festival is for those who have a wide range of musical tastes, we don't focus an any specific genre, if it sounds good we'll give it a try. We will also keep you on the move too with a choice of venues the likes of Ellenside, a private mansion with stunning views towards Skiddaw and the Caldbeck fells, this is where the main stage, bar and food outlets are situated. St James church with it's natural acoustics is a firm favorite for afternoon concerts  and
Ireby 12th century chancel is an intimate and secluded venue for those who like to go that extra mile to keep fit and reap the additional benefits of good music.

The Globe Hall provides a heady mix of music styles, new talent and always a few surprises.The Lion pub is literally next door to the Globe hall for those who prefer a session or two... music or otherwise!

The Women's Institute will be a hive of culinary activity on Saturday producing the most cromulent home bakes, sandwiches and pots of tea and for those weekend ticket holders who sign up for a free workshop session Woodlands Country House is the perfect tranquil venue in which to exercise your musical talents. With camping and free parking just a few minutes walk from any of the venues which between them will host over 20 hours of fantastic music performed by more than 50 musicians what more could anyone ask?
