Join Rachel Sermanni on an enchanting tour of the outdoors this summer, performing in settings that celebrate the beauty of nature and community. From vibrant festival stages to docklands and piers, woodland tranquility, unique urban gardens, and sustainable Earthship spaces, each stop offers an intimate listening experience in unforgettable surroundings.
Rachel Sermanni is a Scottish based singer/songwriter that makes the mundane moments mystical: shock-positive pregnancy tests in train-station toilets, coffee machine breakages, cold river swims, the regret of not saying ‘I love You’, the moon & how it pulls, bare feet on wood floors, the soft glow of a house plant, ‘what even is consciousness?’, strange dreams lingering in quiet mornings…
She brims with dreamy indie-folk pop that speaks of the struggle and desire to Flow, to love, to live, to feel. Sometimes, her songs speak of the rare moments of quiet-still, found in the midst of this struggle & desire.

Always a sellout, so head to the link to book. Doors open at 6pm with music starting at 7pm

Returning to the Dell for the last time this summer, Karawane brings us another amazing guest to make this Sunday ‘In the Woods…’ one to remember.

ButhoTheWarrior is known for his diverse global sound sets with house grooves, high hitting vocals from soulful to spiritual sounds effortlessly mixed, Butho is a mixmaster of carrying crowds through their emotions while locked in. Having supported Giles Peterson, Louie Vega, Awesome Tapes from Africa, DJ Paulette, Shimza and many more in recent times Butho has vast knowledge in creating somewhat of a different vibe bringing his charm to every room. Rooted in the origins of black music, he celebrates and showcases upcoming artists & pioneers of house music with his JAIVA residency at Sub Club.
Karwane brings dancefloor music from around the world: highlife, cumbia, soukous, samba, salsa, funk, reggae, afrobeat, edits and originals to make bodies move and minds travel. Regulars on the Scottish festival circuit, and venues from beach clubs in Andalucia to the late-night clubs of Berlin, the Karawane DJs are constantly on the move, collecting music, and bringing people together.
Yet another special collaboration that we can’t wait for and we would love for you to come and dance with us! We will also be joined by the wonderful Penny Bun food truck to see to your Sunday lunch/dinner needs and the Dell bar will be running all day. Doors open from 12pm, with Karawane and ButhoTheWarrior playing from 2pm.
