The event runs from Friday May 29 to Sunday May 31.

Jackie Rogers, festival organiser, said: “We’ve got some fantastic bands lined up for the weekend and we are delighted to welcome David Knopfler to Sledmere to help us kick-start summer.”

“Horizon is a rare chance for people to pitch up in a very special setting and explore the beautiful Sledmere estate and its gardens. We pride ourselves on being small, family friendly and offering something for everyone.”

There are still a few 20-minute acoustic slots available on the Horizon Unplugged stage.
