Shambala

Drop the outside world at the gates and dive into four days of Adventures in Utopia… For over 25 years, Shambala has been the UK’s fiercely independent, seriously silly, wildly creative and radically sustainable festival. Every August Bank Holiday, we transform the stunning countryside estate of Kelmarsh Hall and Gardens near Market Harborough, Northamptonshire, into a vibrant playground of music, performance, arts, dance, wellbeing, workshops and woodland parties. Completely independent and family-friendly, Shambala is a place to discover, explore and fuel-up on creativity! At Shambala, you’ll find around 40 venues, covering all manner of art forms – from big musical stages, to dozens of microvenues, nooks and crannies, covering everything from techno to dancehall to folk, to disco. We’ve got venues dedicated to poetry, puppetry, politics and permaculture to name but a few, an enchanted woodland packed with art installations and surprises, one of the best kid’s fields on the circuit, a gorgeous healing meadow with free yoga and meditation classes running all day, dance workshops, a legendary fancy dress carnival, and even our very own (shambolic) Olympic Games.
