THE STATELY home of an aristocratic family who shot to fame in an F-bomb laden TV series could be the venue for a music festival this summer.

The Peep Festival could showcase electro and dance music at Great Fulford, the bucolic home of the Fulford family, whose fly-on-the-wall documentaries were big hits with TV audiences more than 20 years ago.

Teignbridge Council has received a licensing application for the festival, which will be held over the last week in July if the licence is granted.

Billed on a music website as a ‘tiny little camping festival’, it would feature acts including Dr Banana, Alexander Skancke, Lukas Wigflex and others over four days and nights of ‘elevated sonic wisdom and magic’.

Festival-goers would be able to choose glamping options for the festival and pay up to £240 to be there.

The premises licence application is for plays, films, live and recorded music as well as performances of dance, late-night refreshment and the supply of alcohol.

The licence would apply over the last weekend of July only.

According to its website, Great Fulford has been the home of the Fulford family for more than 800 years.

In the 15th century it was the home of the ‘great hero of the family’ Sir Baldwin de Fulford, who saw action in numerous battles but was captured during the Wars of the Roses before being hung, drawn and quartered in Bristol.

In the 19th century the house near Cheriton Bishop was remodelled, but profligate spending by Baldwin the Bad left the Fulfords with financial issues which have dogged them ever since.

Private tours of the house are available, and it can be booked as a venue for special events.

The website details restoration work carried out in recent years, and it has eight double bedrooms available for rent, each with its own private bathroom.

The grounds have been used as film sets as well as yoga retreats, natural swimming events, campsites for festivals and historical walks.

Owner Francis Fulford told a national newspaper that the house had even been used by Playboy magazine for a glamorous photoshoot.

The family hit the headlines in 2004 when Channel Four first screened the series The F***ing Fulfords, which focused on the family’s battles to raise the money to maintain their house. It also showcased their family life, complete with copious swearing.

The BBC followed up with a series called Life Is Toff in 2014, which revisited Great Fulford and its inhabitants.
