Festival Information
North West
Overview
Moovin Festival is an adults-only (18+), independent, boutique music event. The festival showcases a diverse range of genres, including DnB, reggae, house, soul, and funk, featuring both emerging artists and established acts. Despite hosting big-name performers, Moovin intentionally maintains a limited capacity to foster an intimate atmosphere across its six stages. The festival offers more than just music, with yoga sessions, gong baths, and fire performances adding to its immersive feel. Moovin's commitment to its counter-cultural feel and personal vibe has made it a standout in the UK festival scene.

While specific accessibility details are limited, the festival organisers encourage registered blue badge holders and anyone requiring additional support to contact them directly at access@moovin-festival.com.
