Four-time Brit Award Winners Scouting for Girls will be playing live at Stockeld Park outside Harrogate on Sunday August 20 as part of the Stockeld Rox music festival.

The festival is being held in the grounds of Stockeld Park, one of Yorkshire’s leading adventure parks and most historic rural estates.

“What makes Stockeld Rox truly special is that it is about so much more than the music”, said Stockeld Park executive director George Grant.

“Ticket holders not only get a sensational evening of live music and fireworks as part of the main Stockeld Rox concert, they also have one of the most exciting and diverse adventure parks anywhere in the country to enjoy beforehand.”

Concert-goers will have a range of things to see and do both before and during the music. Face-painting, fairground activities, hot and cold food and tribute bands will all be on offer before the headline artists hit the stage.
