Not only will there be vintage clothes, jewellery and bric-a-brac on sale but an outstanding collection of classic cars for you to ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ over. Lose yourself ‘discovering’ old records at the vintage record fair or join in with the odd masterclass in Jive and Lindy hop. You can be any age to join in all this fun, age is but a number!

Keep the children happy and you keep the parents happy. This kid’s play area is a smorgasbord of activities, designed to delight and engage with the most discerning of little people. Fancy being captain of a swing boat? Want your face painted? Did I hear you say you want lots of glitter? You want to jump around on the bounciest of castles? You want to bounce even higher on our trampoline? All this and more available at L’il Scrumpers. Oh. And ice cream. Oodles of delicious ice cream………
Mystic Tree
Double double toil and trouble/Fire burn and cauldron bubble! Burley is synonymous with witches and in acknowledgement to our mysterious ancestors and the newer religion of Wicca, we offer an area where you can really explore your spiritual side. Get your Tarot Cards read or maybe try some crystal gazing, all with a liberal sprinkle of fairy dust, and see what the future might hold for you. Fairy wings and broomsticks optional.
Wet your whistle
Festival Bars
Revelling can be thirsty work! Panic ye not, we will provide a suitable amount of watering holes to keep you hydrated. You can choose from The Outside Inn (see what we did there?) or relax under the ‘Intreeducing’ stage and enjoy a little tipple in the INNside OUT bar. For those of you that like a juniper-based tipple, we have gin producers on site, with samples, and then some! We also welcome The Shandy Shack; for those that love a light and refreshing shandy. Or for the local Ale & Cider folk, you can wet your whistle with some craft ales & cider too. We welcome the creative cocktail wizards from Good2Know Hospitality this year, who will be offering a mix of refreshing cocktails to wash down in the beautiful sunshine.

Deer Street
Not to be confused with ‘Dear Street’, which is waaaaaay too expensive. Deer Street is where you will find the finest street fodder Dorset and Hampshire has to offer. There will be plenty of vegan and vegetarian options as well as hog roasts, Asian fusion stalls, artisan coffee, New Forest ice-creams, paella, mouth-watering pizza, churros; you can even get a steak and chips if that tickles your fancy. Delish stuff on Deer Street.
Roots Veg Patch
There is no ignoring the rise of plant-based diets. There are more vegetarians, vegans and flexitarians than ever and an increasing array of choice in the meat free arena. At the Burley Festival we celebrate the healthy choices that this lifestyle can offer. We aim to offer you some delicious meat free alternatives and generally showcase all things green!
