Noisily Festival 2022 at Coney Woods in Leicesterhire

Gawd, we love a festival in the woods…what a prospect: 3 main stages, 2 roaming stages, further speaker & activity stages – you’ll be having such an awesome time in Colne Woods, near Peterborough in Nottinghamshire. You can either camp or go for the day, whatever kind of ticket you choose, rest assured you’ll be having a brilliant time.

Apart from ace DJs playing cutting edge dance music, deep house, underground house, dub, bass, disco,  techno, psychedelic and everything in between, prepare yourself for woodland walks, yoga classes, mediation sessions and even cacao ceremonies. The organisers work closely with the local council to make this as safe an experience as possible, having installed over 60 extra posts to ensure everyone’s safety as best as possible. What is also amazing is that all food & drink is sourced locally, so expect fresh and seriously good food, to be washed down with local beers and other delicious bevvies.

There isn’t a nicer boutique festival around that offers as much ‘happiness’ in their programme as Noisily, so book your tix pronto and come on down…see you in the woods…

Noisily Festival – Looking forward to 2022

It has been a heart-breaking time for the music and arts community, having to come to terms with the cancellation of so many festivals and events over the last two years. All over the world, and particularly in Europe, people are feeling the disappointment of missing out on great entertainment and creating fabulous summer memories. And so too were the organisers of Noisily hoping for the next edition of their infamous music & dance festival to take place, eager to provide some more “soul food meetings in the woods”, when the UK government announced that restrictions can’t be lifted just yet! This has led for the popular Coney Woods based dance festival to be postponed yet again, this time to the 7th-10th July 2022. Nevertheless, it will allow some extra time for the organisers to get some planning underway to make Noisily Festival, 2022, the biggest and best ever. EDM lovers will have so much to look forward to next year. In anticipation, TA-DAH.TV have managed to chat to Will Hazlerigg, one of the festival‘s original founders, to talk them through what the new normal could look like on the ground, and to provide a general overview of the event, from its roots to its exciting DJ line-ups! So, before heading over to TA-DAH.TV’s music channel to check out this brilliant exclusive interview, read on for everything you need to know about the extraordinary and fun-loving event that is the Noisily Festival!

What is Noisily Festival

From their first festival back in 2012 with a modest crowd of 450 people, Noisily festival has been held amongst the trees of Coney Woods ever since. The organisers have been keen to put on an unforgettable event every year ever since.

With 3 main stages, 2 roaming stages and further speaker & activity stages, ravers can’t wait to have a simply awesome time in the Woods, escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immersing themselves into the creative and soulful atmosphere of Noisily Festival. Featuring 3 days of top DJ sets, playing amongst spectacular stage design and wicked light shows, you can also take part in woodland walks, yoga classes, meditation sessions and even cacao ceremonies – it’s an unmissable experience. On top of this, all beverages and food are locally sourced, supporting the surrounding communities. So, it’s all good – for visitors and locals alike.

The founders’ ethos is centred around open mindedness and sharing knowledge. With 5 pillars at the core of their message:

  • Inclusion – The festival celebrates all and allows everyone to enjoy their party, irrespective of gender/sexuality/ethnicity.
  • The Environment – Caring about the environment is a central part of Noisily, focusing on looking after the local wildlife and community.
  • Wellness and Education – Offering a unique and alternative experience for learning holistic and spiritual practices.
  • Community – Despite an attendance of more than 6,000 people, the owners and founders of Noisily festival, are proud to maintain a community feel. Promoting the message that all who attend are part of one big family for these 4 days.
  • Creativity – The festival offers a platform for creativity to flourish, with music and the arts at the centre of the festival.

DJ sets at Noisily Festival

Noisily Festival has three main stages: Noisily Stage, Treehouse Stage, and Liquid Stage. Each year all three make sure you can get lost in dance and forget about time. Festival goers can expect a proper diverse collection of dance music with sets covering all genres such as House, Disco, Bass, Glitch, Hip Hop and Breaks. Whilst also offering one of the UK’s best outdoor psychedelic experiences from their famous Liquid Stage, lovers of EDM, house music, and deep house can dance until their feet hurt.

Despite the festival having been moved to next year, the line-up for 2021 would have been a real treat of homegrown British talent, including Eats Everything, John Digweed, Aidan Doherty, Audio Anonymous, Audley, Ben Coda, Dubspeeka, Henri Bergmann, Ipcress, John Monkman, Quivver & Tripswitch, and many others! Hopefully, many of them will make it to the next year’s edition, as they’re firm favourites with loads of ravers, so get your tix booked promptly.

Exploring mind, body, and soul at Noisily Festival

Surrounded by mother nature, Noisily festival is more than just a music festival, as it also offers an immersive wellbeing experience, allowing festival goers to connect with themselves and the event’s natural environment! This way, ravers can develop a deeper knowledge about their bodies, minds, and souls. It’s a real compilation of hedonism and escapism in a safe and inclusive space for all!

Across different areas of the festival, you will find a huge variety of classes and interactive workshops. Some of the events which take on a key feature each year include, yoga classes, cacao ceremonies, mindfulness workshops, woodland walks, and meditation practices. Not only will you leave the Leicestershire woodland full of joy and exuberance – you may even learn a thing or two about how to extend your general wellbeing, taking away the knowledge of certain rituals and practices you can implement to enhance your everyday life. There’s not a single festival around, that offers such a great overall experience quite like Noisily.

Looking forward to 2022, the festival will be celebrating 10 years since they opened their gates, hence the organisers are working super hard to make it the most fabulous summer gig ever! It is indeed a big deal, also giving them the chance to say Thank You to all the loyal fans and supporters, who make up the Noisily family, and who have helped to keep the festival alive through Crowd Funding efforts.

Alison Soro model, influencer & brand ambassador

She’s a fashion force to be reckoned with! Claudia Peifer chats to Allison Soro, who is half Irish, half Italian and based in Monaco – talk about being multi-cultural and embracing a thoroughly continental fashion style and looks. She speak several languages and is as media savvy as they come, having worked for SKY TV in London too. Allison has things to say, from nurturing healthy body positivity to being comfortable carrying off a variety of looks, and not just one she may be defined by. She loves her roles as a brand ambassador to several labels, representing yet another facet of her many talents, whilst taking her position as a role model and influencer extremely seriously.

Instagram is just one of her platforms, as she develops her own ideas as an entrepreneur as well. Another hat she wears is that of a celebrity blogger, which is why it’s no surprise, that she has been nominated at the World Blogger Awards for two years running. Forbes Magazine has listed her too, so get to know this person, who wants the world to take notice of her, and click that start button right now!

Allison Soro – Influencer

Allison Soro is a fashion influencer and a brand owner. She has been featured in Forbes France and recently has been nominated at the Worlds Blogger Awards 2020. Allison has worked to create her passion for fashion and blogging, along with her knowledge and experience in digital marketing, into a very successful career. Based across London, Paris and Monaco, she has a glamourous and exciting lifestyle, attending luxury events, and rubbing shoulders with icons of the fashion industry – we aren’t envious at all!
In our exclusive interview, Allison has given us her view not only on her life as an influencer, but on streetwear and high street fashion making its way into ready-to-wear designer collections as well, taking a deeper look into Miu Miu’s SS21 runway show and their incorporation of football culture and sportwear styling into their Ready-To-Wear collection!

Miu Miu SS21 Womenswear Collection

The Miu Miu SS21 collection was debuted as a digital experience, to adjust to the times we are currently living in. Miuccia Prada’s younger label ‘Miu Miu’ invited their audience to view their latest collection via video, allowing them the chance to engage in a new way, to be almost part of the show themselves. They can be seen on screens incorporated into the styling and design of the custom-built stage, acting literally as a runway itself. The stage design was created to fit in with and complement their latest spring/summer collection, noting the similarity it carries with sports stadiums, pitches and courts.

The Ready-To-Wear collection combines the styling of football training kit with feminine and decorated pieces, and we are fascinated by this cool laidback, streetwear styling being introduced with day-glam looks that are easy to wear! With relaxed pieces including Jersey jackets, chenille cardigans, straight pants, summer dresses and kitten heel mules borrowing design details from soccer boots, the collection takes complete inspiration from popular sportswear classics already seen on our highstreets, intending to be styles with key pieces by leading international sports brands. Miu Miu have described the collection as ‘simple silhouettes with sophisticated details, which combine sportswear archetypes with feminine tropes.’

London’s Highstreet Fashion Inspiring Trends and Designers

With the likes of Camden Market, Carnaby Street, Oxford and Regent Street, Dover Street Market, as well as Kensington Highstreet, Kings Road, Portobello Road, Hoxton and Spitalfields Market, London is a hive of fashion influence and cultural inspiration, being a regular trend-spotting haven for designers from all over the world, looking for inspiration and cultural movements. Across several decades we have seen London’s famous street-style evolve with the trends and runways. As much as the beloved street-style is always subtly an influence/twist on the runway looks we see every season, now we are starting to see the luxury fashion houses of London, Paris, NYC and Milan complete a full 180 degrees and take their inspiration from the streets. Very much like what we have seen in the latest Miu Miu collection, designers are beginning to take their research out into the world for cultural direction, or redirection more like, in order to focus on what is up and coming in fashion spaces across London. The introduction of jersey jackets and relaxed silhouettes as opposed to structured tailoring and fitted pieces, is a direct take from what we see characters of London’s fashion street-style wearing day to day.

It is an exciting time for fashion, as influence shifts with new role models, including leading lights not just in the music industry, such as rappers & DJs, but now also sports and the arts, mixing ‘foreign’ cultural inspiration with the designer label’s own heritage. Big-name brands have been adjusting to this new way of inclusive fashion to provide better access to the consumer, looking at what is popular amongst their audiences of millennials and reacting directly to the messages provided by posts on social media hubs such as Instagram, Pinterest and other leading platforms. We shall liken it to a new awakening, affording Ready-To-Wear collections a new reality, although price points are certainly not going to leave the lofty heights of designer price levels – after all, designer fashion, as a statement, must be recognised for what it represents: luxury at any cost!
