Samphire is an independent music and arts festival that will take place from the 8th to the 10th of July 2016. We are a family run festival, located in ancient Somerset woodlands with outstanding sea views, focused on getting back to basics and escaping the digital world. We are lining up over 30 live acts and DJs, across two main stages, taking you through folk, funk, house, techno, ska, reggae, afro, pop, indie, jazz & disco. To keep you going, we have sourced the best food, drink and arts the West Country has to offer. Line up announcements are coming very soon!

We need your support to make Samphire happen. With pledges from you and others, we get the funds to deliver a brilliant weekend, and you get to be a part of the family from the beginning. All our rewards are offers exclusive to Crowdfunder. They are limited in availability and won’t be around forever.
If you are new to Crowdfunder, here’s how it works. If you pledge money to us, and if enough of you do the same within the time limit, we will reach our target of £20,000. Once we have reached our target your pledges will be debited from your account and the money sent to us. We then deliver Samphire Festival 2016 and you get your tickets at a discounted price. It is worth noting; in the unlikely event the festival is cancelled it is our duty to refund you your pledge, so you are basically in a risk free win-win!For equity investment and sponsorship opportunities please get in touch: [email protected]
