About

Hot Box Live and TAE Live Events are delighted to announce the inaugural Hot Box Country and Folk Festival, to be held on Writtle Green on Saturday 5th August 2023. The country stage will be headlined by US/UK act Jess and the Bandits, with the amazing Alyssa Bonagura as main support. UK country favourites, Two Ways Home and The Jackson Line, both with huge existing popularity in the local area, are also set to take the stage. The fifth act for the country stage will be announced in due course.

The team have drawn together some of the hottest UK Talent to perform on the folk stage. Headlined by Beans on Toast, the stage will also see performances by Guise, Armoured Man and Wilswood Buoys. With customary appreciation of local artists, HotBox will also curate a 'Folk Hour', to specifically showcase local talent.

Anyone who has come to our venue understands how much effort we put into making a show as good as it can be. For a time now, we have been thinking about doing some small festivals, especially after our successful Hylands shows, in order to support our subsidised community events. So if you want a banging value for money festival, with proper toilets, enough beer and food served quickly and a relaxed happy atmosphere then these are the festivals for you.

We are a Community Interest Company and any profits we make we invest back into the community.
