Our Theme – Journey to Another World With Us

Knockengorroch 2023 Glittering river

To celebrate our 25th year, our theme in 2023 is silver.

Silver is the colour of the moon, the sparkling Deugh river, the grass in the dew, silver birch trees and iridescent dragonfly wings. The metal of healing and love, silver jewellery brings the wearer patience, balance and protection. In Celtic mythology whoever possesses the silver branch can pass into some sort of otherworld – we reckon Knockengorroch might not be so far removed!

To mark this significant milestone we will be planting a copse of silver birch trees on Goose Island and we are planning a new commemorative garden up in the woods.

Come and celebrate in your finest silver spangly wear and party with us as we raise the spirits and a high hooley in our mountain valley…

We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of Benjamin Zephaniah at the age of 65. One of the greatest poets of our time and a resolute campaigner against political injustice, he was a true pioneer and innovator.In 2019 he performed at Knockengorroch Festival with his band The Revolutionary Minds, where he wowed the crowd with his dub-reggae juggernauts strongly influenced by the music and poetry of Jamaica and what he called 'street politics’. Our thoughts go out to his friends and family at this time. 📷 Douglas Robertson ... See MoreSee Less
