Britain’s Got Talent drummer stars at Glampfest in Scotton
Nancy Tilley, a 12-year-old drummer who appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, wowed festivalgoers at the annual Glampfest.
The three-day family camping festival, held at Scotton near Knaresborough, featured live music, entertainment and food.
One of the most talked-about performances this year was Nancy’s set on the music stage.
Other highlights included the African Acrobatics fire show and the Storytellers Street Band, which provided walkabout brass performances.
Glampfest is organised by James and Sarah Martin, who founded and run the outdoor leisure brand Glawning, which operates from Ripon.
Mr Martin appeared on the BBC TV programme Dragon’s Den in February, when he presented Glawning’s luxury tents and campervan awnings to Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, Steven Bartlett and Jenna Meek.
Ms Martin said:
Every year we’re blown away by the support Glampfest receives, but 2026 really felt special. The atmosphere all weekend was incredible and we’re so proud of what was created together. Seeing so many people enjoying themselves, making memories, and supporting one another is exactly what Glampfest is all about.

Festivalgoers raised £428 for charity partner Dementia Disco over the weekend, from May 8 to 10.
The next Glampfest will take place from May 6 to 9 2027.
