The organisers behind the Wild Paths Festival are launching a new socially-distanced two-day festival called Wild Fields. The festival will take place in the Norfolk Showground on the 12th and 13th of September and will follow strict government guidelines.
On the festival website, the organisers described the festival and said; “We wanted to reclaim the end of summer and bring you the weekend of live music and street food that you’ve been longing for since lockdown. Two days of live music, DJs and food & drink in the scenic, tree-lined fields of the Norfolk Showground. Featuring a ton of exciting new artists, delicious food and pop-up bars, Wild Fields promises to give you a taste of the festival-filled summer you were planning before it all went Pete Tong.”

The line up includes acts such as Lauren Hibberd, Indoor Pets, Olivia Dean and Nebula Sun. There will be two stages and will also feature food from restaurants like Elsie’s Pizza, The Hen House, Wok Box and Moco Kitchen.
The Wild Paths Festival had to be cancelled this summer because of the on-going COVID-19 pandemic but the organisers set up a Crowdfunder page to raise money for the 2021 festival. The plan is also to donate a 25% of the raised money to help support other local grassroots venues. The people who donate will be in with a chance of winning prizes from the Wild Paths Raffle, with prizes such as festival tickets for life, ‘Skip-the-queue’ passes, merch bundles, V.I.P tickets and much more.
The organisers said on the Crowdfunder page; “The COVID-19 pandemic has left us, like many others, with new financial challenges and an uncertain future. Wild Paths is a young and ambitious project and for our 2021 edition we’ve prepared a whole host of unique festival experiences and a jaw-dropping line-up, but In order to deliver the festival we’re so excited to share with you all, we need to find around an extra £15,000 in support.”
The Wild Fields Festival will take place on the 12th and 13th of September, you can purchase tickets here from £27.75. You can also donate to the Crowdfunder page here, to help Wild Paths Festival 2021 and live music venues.
