After phenomenal success in 2008, organisers of the One Love Festival have announced that it is to return for a second time in 2009. Due to One Love Festival overwhelming popularity, East Sussex is now the proud home of UK's only annual Reggae Camping Festival, bringing together the best in reggae, dub and electronic music and set in some of Sussex's most spectacular landscape. Created in recognition of one of the worlds greatest ever rock gig, Bob Marley's famous 1978 One Love concert, the One Love Festival is one of the highlights of the summer calendar and a one-of-a-kind experience.
One Love Festival is to be held from the 21st – 23rd August 2009, at their new home Blackstock Farm, Hellingly set deep in a valley in the heart of the countryside, against the spectacular 360 degrees backdrop of the South Downs. Just an hour's train journey from London, and 5 minutes drive from the a22 so travel couldn't be easier. One Love Festival is set within 70 acres of organic countryside that has a Farm Shop selling local farm produce and daily papers for the morning campers, with farm tours, and country meadow walks, Blackstock farm is a perfect new venue for One Love to grow year in, year out.
One Love will see the gathering of music fans to listen to 100's of performing artists and visual DJs, playing a selection of Reggae, Dub, and Electronic music. Staged amongst four music areas, the festival will also bring a whole host of additional entertainment, including a new healing and green field area, body and soul tent, spoken word area, workshops and market stalls selling a range of craft and wares. With a huge variety of food and drink representing some of the world's finest cuisines will be on offer.
This exciting new site also offers more 24-hour secure camping, doubling the campsite from last year. If you bring your kids along, there's a separate family and quiet area that is secure and facilities include our award winning compost toilets.
One Love organiser Dan Wiltshire commented: "We're delighted to have found a new home at Blackstock Farm and to be bringing the festival back as a annual event due to such overwhelming support and great feedback from our customers, we intend to grow the festival year in, year out, representing some of the UK's biggest names in the genre, in such spectacular settings. This year's festival will be bigger and better, with even more music and entertainment to suit all of our festival goers. We can't wait!"
One of the most diverse and unique festivals in the UK, the One Love Festival offers something for everyone and is an experience that should not be missed. Bringing together all the facilities and allures of a large-scale event but with the personal touch of a small, independent occasion, it will be a weekend that won't easily be forgotten.
