Country Music, Sausage & Cider Festival 2025
Friday 8 & Saturday 9 August 2025
The Country Music, Sausage & Cider Festival returned to Thornborough for a weekend of live country music, food-led festival fun, and a relaxed summer atmosphere.
Across two days, the event combined live country performances, DJ sets, a wide cider selection, and freshly cooked sausages, creating an easy-going weekend that appealed to music fans, food lovers, and casual festival-goers alike.
With space to settle in, eat well, and enjoy the music, the festival continued to build its reputation as one of Thornborough’s most popular themed weekends.
The event returned in 2026 with a new programme and line-up.
