About Guiting Music Festival
Set in the idyllic village of Guiting Power, near Stow-on-the-Wold, the Guiting Music Festival returns for its 55th year from 24 July to 02 August 2026.
This much-loved celebration brings a unique blend of classical, jazz, Latin, folk, and blues to the heart of the Cotswolds. A staple of Gloucestershire’s summer cultural calendar, the festival offers a mix of indoor and open-air performances, perfect for music lovers and families alike.
The venue hosts a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere with a marquee bar offering wine, beer, and soft drinks alongside a selection of food available at every performance. The two open-air Sundays are especially family-friendly, where guests are encouraged to bring picnic rugs, chairs, gazebos, and even well-behaved dogs. Free parking is available for all attendees.
Whether attending for a single evening or the full ten days, this enchanting village setting and world-class entertainment ensure an unforgettable summer experience.
The festival will feature a diverse lineup spanning classical, jazz, blues, folk, pop and crossover music. Key performers include Mica Paris, Lindisfarne, The Pasadena Roof Orchestra, Elaine Delmar and The Manfreds.
Other notable acts include Alexander Ullman, the Brodsky Quartet with Martin Roscoe, Liza Pulman, Thibault Cauvin, Alistair McGowan, Fantasia Orchestra with Anita Monserrat, and The Charlie Wood Trio, promising an eclectic programme of world-class live performances throughout the festival.
