TO celebrate the 20th year of a music festival which started as a family gathering, Nozstock organisers have pulled out all the stops.

Chase and Status, Goldfrapp and Grandmaster Flash have all been announced as headliners for July's festival.

And Ella Nosworthy, who organises the festival near Bromyard with her dad, Pete on their family farm, said there is plenty more announcements to come.

"We are really excited. It kinda feels a bit unbelievable," she said.

"We have managed to pull off three really big headliners. We knew we wanted to do something special for the 20th year but it depends on who is available, who is interested and who we can afford.

"Even we feel we have done well this year."

The festival started as just a family gathering with around 20 to 30 guests enjoying a band and a BBQ. It gradually expanded to what it is now and Ella said they will make this anniversary year really special.

She said: "I can't say too much. There are going to be some surprises. We won a fire show award - the most mind blowing experience - for our closing festival fire show last year.

"This year it will be bigger and better than ever before. We are aware we can't take a step back on that one.

"We have got a new area to provide more entertainment after hours - it's not music-related but something a bit different.

"There will be a few birthday parties going on around site."

And she said it is the atmosphere of the festival which brings people back.

Ella said: "Everyone keeps saying it is the friendliest festival they have been to and they feel like they have been invited by the family.

"The smaller size is what allows the atmosphere to be as good as it is.

"We are really lucky - we own the farm. Unlike most festivals, we can build throughout the year. It helps us to do permanent builds."

And they have no plans to get any bigger or move sites.

She said: "Nozstock is part of the farm and the family. I think moving it to a different site wouldn't work. If it's not broke, don't fix it."

Her mum and dad, brother, and wider family are all involved in the festival and it was her dad's love of music growing up which cemented Ella and her brother's love of festivals.

She said: "Dad was really into music - any type of music. We went to Glastonbury every year, we went as kids. It was something we grew up doing and we didn't see it to be unusual."

The festival runs from July 20 to 22. Tickets start at £125 for adults. To find out more go to nozstock.com.
