Based in the small market town of Kirkby Stephen we are surrounded by myths, hill, history and the occasional tropical bird!!
We thought this would be the perfect place to create the modern tradition, a good old-fashioned knee’s up with bang up to date live music.
Every year we throw open an invitation to you to join us for a weekend of music, fun, and beer in the enchanting surroundings of the Eden Valley.
Combining the cream of the emerging local talent with national and international acts alongside more classic and obscure performers makes for a truly unique weekend and a great way to end your summer!
Through the festival we aim to provide an annual focal point for the community at the close of the summer, a time to catch up and party one more time before the kids are back at school and autumn kicks in.
We’re not for profit and all who help out do it as a labour of love, to that end we would like to thank everyone who has been a part of the festival over the past few years, and all that will be in the future.
We look ahead to the good times see you all in September; have a great summer till then.
With love
Nine Standards Team x
The festival is situated at Sandwath Farm Land, adjacent to Kirkby Stephen Grammar School.
