Standon Calling 2012: 3rd – 5th August, Standon, Hertfordshire The independent music festival and themed summer party, Standon Calling, returns to the grounds of a 16th Century Hertfordshire manor house and promises a unique chance to see some hotly tipped acts, in an intimate festival setting. The festival promises a new format for the weekend of Friday 3rd to Sunday 5th August 2012.

Line-up
There are no acts announced yet for 2012. Standon are taking it back to the old school by opening on Friday night with a rave.

Fancy-dress
The theme will take over the festival site with interactive theatre, art installations and costumes. The theme has not yet been announced for 2012.

On site

The festival boasts a number of bars, one of which is hewn out of an enormous oak tree, secret areas, interactive theatre, swimming pool (with underwater dance area), boutique camping (beach huts, yurts and tipis), kids area, and festival food.

Ethos
The organisers are trying to make this festival as ethical and green as possible, recycling all and sundry and sourcing locally where possible and they are raising money for charity too. Standon Calling’s chosen charity Phoenix Futures, a charity that supports people in drug and alcohol rehabilitation, receives £2 from every ticket sold.
