Families enjoyed live shows from Justin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse, while Barrioke with Shaun Williamson proved a crowd favourite. The festival also welcomed celebrity guests such as Simon Pegg, Edith Bowman, Chris Stark, and Pete Tong, who joined in the festivities.

This year also introduced new attractions including The Outpost stage, Thursday Night Feasts, the Woodland Spa, and the world’s biggest bouncy castle, ensuring there was something for every age group.

Early bird camping and weekend tickets for Big Feastival 2026 are now available, with adult weekend passes starting at £180 plus booking fee and camping from £195. Teen and child tickets are also available, with children under five going free (a ticket is still required). Visitors can spread payments over six months.

Taking place just outside Kingham in Oxfordshire, the festival site is a short walk from Kingham Station, making it easily accessible from London Paddington in under 90 minutes. The 2026 line-up and further programme details will be announced in the coming months.
