Rock at the Castle returns to historic Hertford Castle on Sunday, August 5 for a fun day’s music.

Running from 12.30pm to 7pm, this free event will attract thousands of visitors to the picturesque venue.

With three stages spread over three different areas, there will be something for everyone.

The main stage will be on the Hertford Castle lawn along with refreshment stands.

The Moat Gardens will be home to solo and duo acts, with a more relaxed area with a folk and acoustic inspired vibe.

The Island will be home again to the family-friendly area with pop and acoustic music, as well as family entertainment including face painting, bouncy castle and children’s games.

Hertford Town Council is grateful to this year’s sponsors, McMullen’s Brewery and Go Move.

Although Rock at the Castle is a free event to attend, this year’s selected charity, Carers in Hertfordshire, will be fundraising on the gates.
