This Ain’t Texas Festival comes to Belvoir Castle on 31 July
This Ain’t Texas Festival will bring a country and Western-themed evening to Belvoir Castle, Belvoir, Grantham, NG32 1PA, on Friday 31 July 2026. According to the Visit Leicester Events listing, the family-friendly event combines live tribute acts, dancing, food, drink and hands-on activities. Booking is available, although no ticket price is stated.
The programme is suited both to visitors who want to dress up and join the dancing and those who would prefer to watch the performances and take in the setting. Its mix of music, activities, food and stalls also gives families and groups options beyond standing in front of the stage throughout the event.
Live music and line dancing share the spotlight
Live country music performed by tribute acts forms the centre of the festival. The listing does not name the performers or publish a running order, so it is not yet possible to plan around a particular act or performance slot.
Line dancing adds a participatory element, allowing visitors to step onto the dance floor rather than simply watch. Interactive experiences are also listed, although their exact format has not been detailed. That leaves the broad shape of the evening clear—music, dancing and hands-on entertainment—without confirming how individual activities will be scheduled.
Participation is optional: the event description invites visitors to dress up, join in or simply soak up the atmosphere. That flexibility may appeal to mixed groups whose members have different levels of enthusiasm for dancing or Western-themed dress.
American BBQ, street food and Western-inspired stalls
American BBQ and street food will provide the festival’s food offering, alongside drinks and Western-inspired stalls. No individual traders, menus or dietary options are identified in the supplied information, so visitors should not assume that a particular dish or food requirement will be covered.
The stalls and interactive elements broaden the event beyond its live performances, giving visitors other areas to explore between music and dancing. However, the source does not specify how many stalls or food vendors will attend.
What to check before travelling to Belvoir Castle
The listing contains a 00:00 time entry but describes This Ain’t Texas as an evening festival, so visitors should use the booking information to confirm the actual arrival and start times. The same check should cover ticket prices, transport arrangements and accessibility requirements, none of which are published in the source listing.
This is an external event and is not run by Belvoir Castle. Questions should therefore be directed to the event organiser; Phylum Forge Limited is identified in the supplied event information. Details are subject to change, according to the Visit Leicester Events listing, making the booking page the appropriate place to verify the final arrangements before setting out.
