Festival fun across THE PIGs and Lime Wood
Hold onto your hats party people... Smoked & Uncut is back with full-scale festivals and their nostalgic beats and forest eats! Expect laid back classic tunes, a bundle of bars, field food and feasting - with a few of THE PIG’s and Lime Wood's renowned chef friends. Plus all the info on the kid’s area, a mecca for families…
The Den – Kid’s Area
The Den is Smoked & Uncut’s dedicated space for the littlest of festi-fans! Expect bags of fun in the sun, with arts and crafts, storytelling, nature-inspired activities and t-shirt designing – all included in the ticket price.
This year the site have partnered with local nurseries and schools to create this nurturing and safe environment for your little party people, whose teams will be keeping them busy with loads of boredom-bursting experiences. All kidiwinks will need a responsible adult (18+) watching over them whilst they are in The Den.
If your little ones want to add a little sparkle and shine, there will also be a glitter artist and hair braider in The Den, charged at an additional fee.
There will be a QR code for PayPal donations for the amazing schools and nurseries that are supporting the day.
All activities within the kid’s area are included in the ticket price and are available from midday until 6:30pm at each festival. Please note that a responsible adult 18+ must supervise children at all times (one adult for up to three children) whilst in the area.

Further classics include Heed The Message, Try Meditation and Love is the Calling.
At the height of Britpop and Cool Britannia, Supergrass released their debut album I Should Coco. Their most well-known hit Alright catapulted them to rock super-stardom. Since then the band has released five albums and continue to perform both in the UK and internationally.
Festi-food
Food stalls at the festivals are another great lure offering a seriously tasty selection of options from classic burgers to stone-baked pizza; a PIG BBQ to hot veggie and vegan bites. Of course these mouth-watering dishes need washing down with something special - party people fear not. There's the Chase Distillery Horsebox for all G&T needs, cocktails from Fever-Tree, Shepherd Neame's Beer Bar or Hambledon's double-decker bus with their quaffable Hampshire fizz.
Feasting
Feasting with Angela & Friends
If you want something even more epic to remember your festival day, head inside to the hotel's restaurant for a 4-course feasting menu with Angela Hartnett and her chef friends. Each chef takes on a course so expect dishes that are not only full of flavour but also full of their personalities. Angela, who needs little introduction, is one of the UK's most loved chefs and restaurateurs. At the festivals, in addition to her chef friends, she will be joined by Neil Borthwick, Head Chef of Soho's legendary The French House. Neil also happens to be Angela's husband... Cooking with Angela and Neil are:-
