After a dazzling debut, Found Festival has confirmed it will return in 2026 with tickets now on sale – frozen at 2025 prices and offered through a new tiered system to make the event accessible for all.
The UK’s newest boutique festival, which took place over the August bank holiday at the scenic Claydon Estate in Buckinghamshire, delivered three days of cultural discovery, family-friendly fun, and grassroots music.
Born from the 60-year legacy of Towersey Festival, the family-led team behind Found now hopes to build on that success with the next edition from Friday 28 to Monday 31 August 2026.

Festival co-director Joe Heap said:
“Found is an event built with love, creativity, and a whole lot of hard work. We’re delighted with how our first year has gone, despite the challenges.
“It’s increasingly hard to run an independent festival, and none of it would have been possible without the incredible support of our community.
“From the artists and crew to everyone who took a chance on something new, it was a huge effort. We’re creating something special, and we can’t wait to do it all again next year.”
To ensure accessibility, the festival has introduced a three-tier ticketing system:
- Supporter tier – for those able to pay extra and subsidise lower-cost tickets.
- Standard tier – covering the minimum cost to produce the festival.
- Supported tier – offering a subsidised rate for those needing financial help, released once enough Supporter tickets are sold.
Only 300 early bird tickets – including camping – are available at the 2025 price, with reduced caravan-pitch rates and unchanged hook-up fees. Interest-free instalment plans will be available from the end of September.
The first Found Festival showcased what organisers described as “head-turners not headliners,” with standout performances from Elles Bailey, Talisk, The Longest Johns, and Honeyfeet.
Comedy names Robin Ince and Marcel Leconte entertained crowds, alongside rising UK talent Chelsea Birkby. Family favourites included Professor Elemental’s steampunk cabaret and Nutty Noah’s storytelling.
Beyond the main stage, visitors took part in ceilidhs, dance and craft workshops, yoga and breathwork sessions, and enjoyed a wood-fired sauna overlooking the lake. Silent discos ran late into the night, while stone-carving, circus artistry and nightly fire shows added to the atmosphere.
Tickets for Found Festival 2026 are available, with prices set at £195 (adult weekend), £105 (youth 12 to 17), and £75 (child 5 to 11). Camping is included.
