The full line-up has been revealed as a new festival in the Lake District gets ready for its debut.

Sticklefest will be running between September 25 and 27 at Lanty Slee's Stickle Barn in Great Langdale near Ambleside.

Last week, the acts for the event were revealed, including headliners Mark Archer, Sparkz, Funke and the Two Tone Baby, Mark XTC, Dogshow, and Wends.

A spokesperson from Lanty Slee's said: "From old-school rave, techno and dub to folk, acoustic, hip hop, disco, Latin and live bands, we’re bringing three days of seriously good music to Great Langdale this September.

"And that’s before you get into the over 50 beers, Hayloft Food Court, wood-fired pizzas, kids’ entertainment, workshops, competitions, lasers and everything else happening across the weekend."

Other performers will include North Fire Sound, Blast Furness, Homegrown DJs, Cenote Sounds, Drum Nation, Harry Stricks, and Joel Talbott and Si Saxx.
