End Of The Road Festival is a small festival held in the beautiful surroundings of the Larmer tree gardens in Dorset. This festival is all about the music, embrace the surroundings and just enjoy all that's on offer from the lineup. With its unique style of not being commercialised you won't have an invasion of advertisement ruining the setting of what is proving to grow into an amazing festival.
