After another sell-out success this August, the Big Feastival has confirmed it will return to Alex James’ Cotswolds farm across the August Bank Holiday weekend, 28–30 August 2026.
Weekend and camping tickets are already on sale, giving festivalgoers the chance to secure their spot early at what has become one of the UK’s most popular family-friendly festivals.
This year’s event brought together a star-studded music line-up with headline sets from Nelly Furtado and Faithless, alongside the debut of Alex James’ Britpop Classical, featuring guest appearances from Phil Daniels, Gary Stringer, Fran Healey, Dougie Payne and more. Other highlights included performances from Travis, The Wombats, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Daniel Bedingfield.
Food lovers were equally well served, with Raymond Blanc, Simon Rimmer, Si King and Cherish Finden heading a roster of chefs, while the country’s best street food vendors kept thousands well fed throughout the weekend.
Entertainment for children once again proved a huge draw, with live shows from Justin Fletcher, Oti Mabuse and Shaun Williamson’s Barrioke, alongside the return of the World’s Biggest Bouncy Castle. Adults were equally entertained with DJ sets at The Cheese Hub from Simon Pegg, Edith Bowman and Chris Stark, while The Outpost hosted sets from Radio 1’s Charlie Hedges and Artful Dodger.
The festival also unveiled new experiences including Thursday Night Feasts and a Woodland Spa for those wanting a slower pace.
With so much variety on offer, organisers are already encouraging fans to grab tickets early. Day passes and the 2026 line-up are still to be announced, but organisers say the August Bank Holiday “wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the farm.”
