Welshpool’s Country Music Festival – Boots, Beats and Ballads

Get ready to hitch your wagons and giddy up to Powis Castle and Gardens (SY21 7NS) from 17^th – 20^th July for a rip-roaring weekend of fun, food and entertainment – all for a good cause.

Located less than 20 minutes from Oakwood Valley Lodges, the Welshpool Country Music Festival is a fantastic family-friendly hoedown with good food and great music that you won’t want to miss.

Organised by the Heulwen Trust, known for providing boat trips to those with limited mobility, this four-day event boasts a whole heap of cowboy-inspired entertainment for all ages.

Yeehaw! Get Ready for a Boot-Scoot and Boogie

Visit the T Alun Jones stage, named in honour of a local legend who’s been helping build this event for over 30 years by lending his artic trailers, for an exciting line-up of performers, duos and bands.

Then when the sun starts to set, check out the Saloon Stage located in a 7,500 sqft marquee – where the party will kick up its heels and keep going ‘til the cows come home. Expect toe-tapping tunes, foot-stomping performances, and plenty of good ol’ fashioned fun to keep the evening rolling on well into the night.

When it comes to grub, this event doesn’t mess around – with options ranging from hearty Greek cuisine to zesty Italian pizzas, and spicy Indian bites to sweet crepes. And don’t forget to grab a Mr Whippy from the ice cream van or an ice-cold drink from the bar.

Rootin’ Tootin’ Weekend

Hold onto your hats because there’s more than just good food and music to enjoy! This shindig also features exotic animals, the Trilogy March, and a dazzling performance by the Mavericks Show Team. And try your hand at quick-draw shooting, hit the dance floor for a little line dancing, or just sit back and enjoy the show.

Bring your own chairs, and don’t forget your dogs – they’re welcome on short leads.

Plus, there’s a heap of trade stands for you to browse, selling everything from bandanas and belts, pistols and parasols, and hats and holsters. Perfect for adding a little cowboy flair to your wardrobe.
