Love Lakefest. What a great festival. Amazing bands, really well organised and in a beautiful setting. Cant wait to go again this year.

Repeat visitor since 2016. One of the highlights of the festival season in a friendly environment with some great acts, especially those on the supporting stages - some great discoveries to be made every year. No hesitation in recommending to anyone thinking of dipping their toes into the UK festival scene.

This festival is an absolute gem. Every year it delivers an incredible experience, and I still can’t quite believe it all happens just a short drive from home. The line‑up has consistently been brilliant, with a great mix of artists that keeps everyone entertained, from kids to grandparents.
One of the standout features is how family friendly the whole event feels. The fairground adds a huge amount of fun and energy, and there’s always something to keep the little ones smiling. The variety of food outlets is excellent too, plenty of choice, good quality, and something to suit every taste. The festival 'theme' each year adds a little extra magic, and it’s wonderful to see how much everyone gets into it. People really go 'all out' with their costumes.
Safety is clearly a priority, and it really shows. Whether you are wandering between stages, relaxing in the campsite, or queuing for food, the atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and secure. The facilities are also good, the dreaded toilets are always clean, and I’ve never once had an issue with the shower blocks or camping areas.
What truly sets this festival apart, though, is the people. Everyone, from fellow festival goers to the volunteers, is friendly, cheerful, and full of that special festival spirit that makes the whole event so memorable. The volunteers & staff are always helpful and bring such a positive vibe.
All in all, it’s a fantastic, feel‑good event that I look forward to year after year. Perfect for families, brilliantly organised, and bursting with good vibes. Can’t wait for the next one!

Visited Lakefest with my family for the first time during 2025, my only regret now is we didn't go earlier! Such a great family fun festival with an incredible vibe, highly recommend!

Can't fault anything about this festival it's family friendly, bars are reasonably priced, overall fantastic

Lakefest has become one of those events I look forward to every year. With 2026’s lineup already looking awesome, this year will be my fifth in a row. Somehow the organisers manage to create the perfect atmosphere, drawing in a diverse range of attendees — from groups of friends and families to solo travellers.

With consistently big‑name headliners, the main stage energy is always fantastic without ever feeling overcrowded. A big positive for me is being able to go to a festival where you don’t feel like you’re being rinsed every time you want to buy a beer or food, and there are plenty of quality options to choose from.

I definitely recommend exploring some of Lakefest’s smaller tents. The Cocktail Tent in particular has given me some of my best festival memories, with great live music, great people, and that cosy, tucked‑away vibe that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled onto something special.

Counting down the days until Lakefest 2026!!

Myself and my family have been going to Lakefest for many years, from when my children were toddlers to now when they are in their teens and early twenties there has always been so much for them to do from circus skills, watching bmx bikers do amazing stunts and a variety of fairground rides to camping / hanging out with their friends in a safe environment and of course watching some fantastic acts across all stages. For myself and my husband it’s an amazing weekend away with our friends and family soaking up the atmosphere having a few too many drinks while watching our favourite bands from past to present.

It’s such a lovely, well run festival and I would 100% recommend going to anyone who is looking for a fantastic long weekend away

Great atmosphere, great bands. Family fun and so relaxed! Came home feeling like we’d had a proper holiday. Staff friendly and helpful. Pitches good and music was awesome!! Totally recommend this for a family that love music, chilling and fun!!

Amazing festival

Been to lakefest with the family 5 times now. Absolutely the best family music festival in the UK!

A wonderful thoughtful family festival with something for everyone.
Been going for years and it gets better every time.
Love the retro gaming tent, the house music tent and the great food options.

Lakefest has been part of our summer for 6 years now, and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Big family group, it’s always a weekend we look forward to — great music, great vibes, and memories made every single time.

Our kids have grown up at Lakefest and now, as teenagers, they still love it so much they’re bringing their friends along too. There’s loads to keep everyone entertained, whatever your age, and the relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere makes it easy for everyone to feel at home.

The staff are absolute stars — from the gate crew to the bar teams, everyone is friendly, welcoming, and always up for a chat. Each year the festival feels even better organised, which just adds to how easy and enjoyable the whole weekend is.

We’ve also done VIP, and it really does add that extra special touch to the experience. The music lineup never disappoints — a brilliant mix of bands and DJs that keeps everyone happy !!😊

The food area is a festival highlight in itself, with a fantastic range of options. We love seeing our favourite stalls return each year, alongside new ones!

If you’re looking for a festival that feels safe, welcoming, and full of fun for all ages, Lakefest really does tick every box. Can’t recommend it enough

Bring on August 2026

Last year was my first lakefest experience and wow what an experience
It was I’m going back again this year had the most amazing weekend and would highly recommend it anyone! My friends have been going since it started and I’m gutted I’ve never been before!

Fabulous line up, excellent facilities, polite & knowledgable staff, a brilliant wknd for families with a great selection of activities for kids and adults.

We love the family friendly vibe of Lakefest. Staff have always been friendly and helpful and loads to do and watch throughout the day and night.
We do this festival every year! Looking forward to this August!!!

Been visiting lakefest for over ten years with my friends and family. It’s a firm part of our summer calendar and we love it!

All the staff are amazing, from those on the gates to those behind the bar - and it gets more and more well-organised every year. They genuinely care and always have a smile and a laugh with you.

There is plenty for kids of all ages to do, and they are still enjoying it now they are in their teens.

It’s safe with a family-friendly vibe that is brilliant for all ages - my parents love it as much as their grandchildren!

The campsites are well looked after and the showers are great, especially if you hit them the right time of day.

The selection of different bands and djs is fantastic, we are all well catered for musically and it’s great to discover new bands as well as enjoying the bands we loved when we were teens ourselves!

The food area has a brilliant selection, with our favourite stands coming back most years, and some new wines added. we especially love the cake fest stand - they made a lovely birthday cake for one of our party last year!

Can’t recommend lakefest enough! Looking forward to this year!

I have attended festivals for the past 15 years. From small local ones to Glastonbury. Lakefest is one of my faves! I took my 3 daughters last year and we had the best time. From the moment we arrived it was seamless. Staff always at hand to help and point us in the right direction. Facilities were great and the whole experience was super family friendly. Great choice of food, activities, and music for children. Myself and my daughters cannot wait for this year! It’s the highlight of our summer.

We’ve been going to Lakefest from the start and have always had a fantastic time. Brilliant music and atmosphere! We’ve booked again this year. Looking forward to it.

Brilliant festival, brilliant music, really good fun

In an age of profiteering global companies running festivals, the boys that work their arses off to make Lakefest happen each year do an amazing job. Great value tickets, free parking, sensible beer prices and a wide variety of music acts for all ages. Best weekend of the year for me. Better than Christmas!
