History

Butserfest is an alcohol/drug-free festival, founded following consultation with local young people in East Hampshire, who said there was not enough to do in the area. Now in its seventh (yep, seventh) year, Butserfest has grown year-on-year and now has a reputation as one of the best festivals of its kind in the country. Below are lineups and highlight videos from previous years.
