A FAMILY-friendly festival designed with the cost-of-living in mind will take place later this month.

Scoop Music Festival will be held in a field at Longedge Lane, Satley in County Durham on July 28, 29 and 30. 

Tristan Raine, the organiser of the festival, said: "I changed the methodology of this year's festival due to how the world is struggling financially.

"The way I have approached it is to introduce a Cost of Living Crisis Discount. I have reduced all the tickets to £5 to help families afford to come along with the kids to enjoy themselves," he said.

  • Hayley McKay (Full band) 
  • Twister
  • The Gerry Cinnamon Show 
  • Red Room 
  • The National Anthems 
  • Rio (Duran Duran experience) 
  • The Liam Gallagher Experience
