Beautiful Days Festival

South West

Overview

Beautiful Days is a family-friendly, independent weekend festival that brings together music, arts, and hands-on creativity in a relaxed countryside setting. Known for its welcoming atmosphere and broad appeal across generations, the festival attracts families, long-standing festival-goers, and people looking for a slower-paced, community-focused alternative to larger commercial events.

Alongside a diverse music programme with strong roots in folk, alternative, and acoustic scenes, the festival places real emphasis on participation and discovery. Workshops, crafts, theatre, and informal performances run throughout the weekend, creating a space where wandering, taking part, and spending time together are as much part of the experience as watching bands on stage.
