There will also be Trapeze Workshops, Bubble Mania, Storytelling, Wandering Poets, Water Zorbing and lots more. There are also a host of vintage activities including Swingboats from 1910, an 1890's Showmans Wagon and Cine Star Archive Films will also be screening early home movies from the 50's and 60's using their vintage film projectors all weekend.

Simon Ford Chagstock Festival organiser says, "I am delighted that Chagstock has now sold out two years in a row! With the announcement of Lightning Seeds, alongside acts such as The Waterboys, The Selecter and many others, the whole team is confident that 2014 will be our best year yet and we will sell out once again! As always we are sticking to the non-corporate vibe and family friendly atmosphere with loads of great and varied music, food and entertainment."
