Dad’s the way to do it for Father’s Day at Upton House Food and Music Festival, (14 – 16 June) where classic beats and tasty bites are sure to make every dad feel Top of the Pops.

With the final few tickets remaining there’s still time to book a brilliant family day out with a sensational menu of top quality street food served up alongside three days of chart topping music performed by the best UK tribute artists. Add to that the sumptuous surroundings of Upton House, free kids’ entertainment all weekend, arts and crafts, and – only for the bravest, hungriest festival goers – some belly-busting eating contests, and you have a weekend like no other.

Dorset Echo:

“We pull out all the stops to make sure Upton House Food and Music Festival is a feast for all the senses – it’s the perfect start to summer,” says festival organiser Serena Wren.

“It’s the weekend before Glastonbury, so what better way to get in the mood than with all-killer no-filler live music from our amazing tributes and a chance to sample some incredible street food from some of the region’s best artisan producers?

“We’ve got weekend and day tickets available and family tickets are just £24 on Sunday, so it’s a great treat for Father’s Day!”

Dorset Echo:

DON’T MISS OUT ON YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SAVE MONEY (UP TO £8) WITH FIRST RELEASE TICKETS, (ending this Sunday, 9pm). Day tickets available from just - £6 per adult, £2 per child, and as little as £14 per family – this really is a festival that packs a punch – but not in the purse. Three-day tickets also available!

Not only does this year’s soundtrack feature all the biggest hits from the likes of Queen, Oasis, Foo Fighters, Amy Winehouse, Madness, Bon Jovi, Stereophonics and The Killers, but there’s a chance to check out the best local artists with the ukelele sound machine of Mother Ukers, radio rock stars SOS and Chris Payn, and internationally renowned covers outfit The Transitions.
