Greenbelt Festival 2026

The Greenbelt Festival returns to the Boughton Estate near Kettering from 27 to 30 August 2026, bringing together its long-standing blend of arts, activism and faith for four days in the Northamptonshire countryside.

First held in 1974, Greenbelt has grown into one of the UK’s longest-running festivals of its kind. Its programme typically spans live music, talks, visual art, theatre, comedy and worship, with a strong emphasis on social justice running throughout. The event has traditionally drawn a mix of festival-goers, performers and speakers from across the country.

The 2026 edition will once again take place at the Boughton Estate, the rural setting that has hosted the festival in recent years. Attendees can expect the usual campsite facilities and a full weekend schedule, with further details on the line-up and ticket information expected to be announced in the run-up to the event.

Those interested in taking part, whether as visitors, volunteers or contributors, are advised to keep an eye out for official updates as the festival approaches.
