Underneath The Stars 2024, through my lens (part 1)
FESTIVAL: Underneath the Stars (10 year anniversary), Barnsley
DATE: 2nd-4th August 2024
This year marked the ten year anniversary of the Underneath The Stars festival.
I had never been before but had heard how good the festival was from friends. With it being just down the road from me, I thought I’d reach out to them and see if I could help out by providing some extra photography coverage across the weekend.
”Wow, wow, wow”, were my first impressions as I gazed upon the many tents, vendors and festival goers that filled the fields. I could tell that the weekend was going to be full of positive vibes and that was even before I had made it to the car park!
On arriving, I collected my wrist bands, pit access and photo passes and then made my way into the venue where I met some other event/festival photographers, all of whom were wonderful.
Over the next few days I explored many areas of the festival and got to realise just how family friendly the festival was… just see the images below if you want to get an idea of what the weekend brought to the family and friendship groups that went. There was so much to do!
And well, as for the music, every single band and artist was spectacular.
Have fun looking through part 1 of my time at UNDERNEATH THE STARS 2024!

FarmTrax Music Festival 2024, Farmer Copleys
Somehow in the nine years that I have lived in Yorkshire, I have never come across Farmer Copleys until this past year, possibly due to now having two young children. I now know that Farmer Copleys is an amazing place to visit if you want to go strawberry/pumpkin picking. It is said that they grow over 250’000 pumpkins a year!! Crikey!
Amongst all of this they also seem to be able to host some fantastic events and music festivals throughout the year.
On Saturday 27th July I was able to help photograph their FarmTrax Tribute Act Music Festival. Starting at 12 and finishing at 9, the music, food and drink certainly brought families and friends to the venue! What a treat it was.
Here are some photos from the event.
