Now in it’s second year and until now only accessible to those in the know, the festival this year opens its doors to offer a select number of festival tickets to the lucky few.

Sunshine is a must when it comes to festivals and Meadows in The Mountains brings you some of the best weather that the Mediterranean has to offer. Set in the exceptionally beautiful surroundings of the Rhodope Mountains lies the quaint Bulgarian village of Polkovnik Serafimovo. 850m above sea level and a stones throw away from the Greek border, this enchanting village is where Meadows in the Mountains likes to call home.
Historically the country has been invaded and conquered by the Roman Empire, Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great and was finally enveloped by the mighty communist iron curtain (and now us!). As a result the local area has a rich cultural heritage including ancient Thracian sites such as Perperikon and Tatul; medieval castles, churches, monasteries and scenic villages with traditional Bulgarian architecture from 18th and 19th century. The Rhodopes is the greenest and most picturesque Bulgarian mountain range and is also known as the homeland of the mythological singer Orpheus. Orpheus was a legendary musician, poet, and prophet in ancient Greek religion and myth. His accolades are centered on his ability to charm all living things and even stones with his music. Like Orpheus, Meadows in the Mountains invites you to be charmed by our music along with the beautiful scenery and people of Bulgaria.
The festival ticket includes a camping pitch and tent, which leaves plenty of wallet space for drinks and heaps of bag space for favorite fancy dress. Showers and clean toilets are provided and the on site convenience shack will ensure all onsite needs are catered for. There are also limited availability for apartments and house rentals, these are situated in the nearby village, which is a pleasant 10-minute walk from the festival site.
On top of this Meadow In The Mountains festival goers will be treated to a delectable range of locally sourced fresh food will be available onsite to feed any hunger, no dried up burgers or greasy eggs and all charged at reasonable ‘festival’ prices.
For an exceptional festival of magical adventure Meadows In The Mountains is the one festival not to be missed this summer and with only a handful of tickets available and early bird tickets already gone expect tickets to be like go like magic mountain dust!
