Smugglers Festival 2026

Smugglers Festival 2026

Dates: Thursday 27 - Sunday 30 August.
Location: in a secret woodland location near Deal, Kent.
Ticket holders will be sent the address on their e-tickets.

Embarking on our 15th year of revelling in arts and community!

Come and join us for another weekend of cultural oasis.

A few updates for you, firstly - we are for first time aligning with the August bank holiday for the 2026 festival, 27-30 August. This decision was arrived at with the help of various polls we did, and in short helps us avoid difficulties arising from colliding with the start of school term (and allows everyone a recovery buffer on the Monday of course).

This year we’ve increased the number or Super-Early and Early-Bird tickets, so more people can benefit from our cheaper tiered tickets. Thursday will remain a camping-ticket-exclusive day, but we have now added a Friday Early-Bird ticket as well as a Saturday Early-Bird ticket (though NB we're reducing the number of day-tickets available in total - so don't wait too long if this is what you’re after!).

All this is to say - we encourage you to come and camp with us for the weekend! it’s the best way to experience our special once-a-year gathering.

We’ll be making some changes to family camping to ensure better management of and access to that space in 2026 (we'll get in touch with all ticket holders nearer the time about this). Additionally, we're introducing a new safeguarding policy for Under-18s. Full details are listed on all U18 tickets, but in short: guardians of teenagers must be at least 30 years of age.

We have also increased our vehicle pass pricing in order to cover the cost of continued improvements off-site.

These changes will facilitate better access to the festival generally, and also allow us to evolve this magical weekend for all those in wise attendance - including some exciting new developments …more on that soon.

Join us!

Big thanks again to Sophy Hollington for this years artwork.
