A small music festival is set to take place on the outskirts of the Lake District this summer. 

Krankenhaus, a micro-festival, will be coming to Muncaster Castle from August 25 until August 27. 

The event is organised by the castle itself along with a company called Sea Power, a local band who have went on to win BAFTAs and the Mercury Prize. 

This year a number of acts will be performing, including Baba Ali, Bo Ningen and Bodega. 

A spokesperson said: "Muncaster Castle is sat overlooking the River Esk, in an area with easy access to both the coast and the majestic lakes and fells of the Western Lake District. The castle is set a short drive from Lakeland peaks such as Scafell Pike.

"The Ravenglass & Eskdale steam railway and the Cumbria Wildlife Trust’s Eskmeals Dunes reserve are a short distance away. The nearest mainline rail station is in Ravenglass."
