Deerstock is a wonderfully small but beautiful family music festival organised by festival-goers for festivals goers, on a not for profit basis. The Deerstock Collective is a group of volunteers who put their own time and energy to make a great weekend. The aim of the event is primarily to raise funds for good causes.
Donations are given each year to three different charities, the festival has raised over £90k to date. Charities supported in the past include Nottingham Children’s Brain Tumour Research Centre, Notts Air Ambulance, Nottingham Emmanuel House, Nottingham Women’s Centre, UNICEF, Alzheimers Society, Help for Heroes, CALM, Reach (Notts centres for adults with learning difficulties), The Lee Bonsall Memorial Fund, The Roy Stone Foundation & Nepal Earthquake Fund amongst others.
With 3 stages, a craft tent, children’s activities, workshops, a well-stocked bar, and an excellent selection of food stalls we are sure there is something for everyone. Dates for Deerstock 2022 are July 28-31 also for 2022 Deerstock have invited friends ‘I’m not from London’ to curate a stage, in the past INFL have suggested many bands from Nottingham who have always been a treat to showcase.

Deerstock feel the event is a chance to experience a ‘proper’ music festival in a field with camping and the chance to meet other families and festival goers in a small safe environment. Set in the picturesque Nottinghamshire countryside, Deerstock really is a perfectly petite family-friendly festival.
