Beyond The Woods

Taking place on Saturday, 7th June, Beyond The Woods is Leeds' first-ever open-air woodland festival, set deep within the enchanting grounds of Hazelwood Castle. Nestled in 77 acres of landscaped gardens and ancient woodland, this historic former knight’s residence—dating back to 1086—provides a breathtaking backdrop for a unique fusion of music, arts, wellness, and food. A brand-new festival concept brought to life by Arrival Events, Beyond The Woods seamlessly blends cutting-edge underground music with immersive art and restorative experiences in nature. The festival’s main stage, The Amphitheatre, will be hosted by Slapfunk, featuring an explosive lineup including Rossi (making his Slapfunk debut), Saoirse, Mella Dee, Samuel Deep, Reeshy, Voigtmann, and Laidlaw—all performing beneath a canopy of towering willow trees. The second stage, The Treehouse, will be powered by Ruckus24, showcasing DXNBY, Julian Fijma, Josh Demello, Ola & Lucia, bringing deep grooves and high-energy selections to the forest floor. A landmark moment for Leeds' festival scene, Beyond The Woods invites you to lose yourself in sound and nature for an unforgettable day of rhythm, movement, and discovery.
