NOTSILLY Weekender
Description
Notsilly Weekender returns one more time in 2026
Final tickets are very limited, be fast!
Notsilly is a small, grassroots electronic music gathering.
It grew out of a moment when Noisily Music and Arts Festival, a much-loved part of the UK psy/techno/DnB landscape, disappeared. Instead of replacing it with something louder or more polished, around 430 of us chose something simpler, a party made together.
One field. One weekend. Just us.
You asked if we’d do it again.
So we are.
Made by us, for us.
We come for the music, but we stay for what unfolds around it: shared meals, long conversations, barefoot dancing, fireside laughter, and the quiet moments as the night softens into morning.
This is a "leave no trace" party. What you bring in, you take away with you. We recommend you remove all unnecessary packaging from your products and dispose of it at home before coming.
Bring your own reusable cups, a bowl or container to eat out of, and your own cutlery. Remember the wild-camping style
==========
Sound first
The sound matters here.
We’re bringing a high-fidelity Funktion-One system so the music can be properly felt warm, clear, and physical. The kind of sound you can lose hours inside.
Music with care
Moving through psytrance, techno, deeper bass frequencies, and the spaces between.
The lineup is rooted in the community, emerging artists, and trusted selectors chosen for their flow, depth, and feeling rather than for names or hype.
Music for long dances, open ears, and open minds.
Small by design
Intimate enough to recognise faces by Sunday.
Big enough to dissolve into the dance when it hits right.
If you’re looking for a shared space built on trust, sound, and togetherness, you’ll feel at home here.
Notsilly
Small by design.
Serious about sound. powered by Funktion-One
Silly about ever

Yazmin Patel & Amar Parkinson
Yazmin b2b AMAR Techno, Hardgroove These two selectors are bringing different corners of London dance culture together. Yazmin’s sound moves across house, techno, Afro rhythms, jazzier textures and broken beats – shaped by years of exploring electronic music in and beyond the city. Alongside her is AMAR, fellow co-founder of One Foot in the Rave, the queer-led underground party centred around community, closeness and groove. Through his Mindful Groove show on LOOSE.fm, he explores deeper and more spacious sounds with a softer touch. Together they lean into rhythm, warmth and movement – playful in places, grounded underneath it all. Looking forward to hearing where this one goes.

We have been approved for our TEN licence to serve alcohol. We are working on getting a bar supplier. We are also Bring Your Own (BYOB) event. As long as it is not in glass, bring what you desire to drink in up to limit of 12 cans, plastic bottles, or a flask
- Is water supplied?
We have brought drinking water to the site, which you can refill bottles from via the IBC tanks. We advise bringing your own water bottle for the weekend, which can be refilled at the water point. The site itself has no water mains. Ideally, a portable camp water container/carrier/jerry can (20 L - 15 L) with a tap for your weekend, which you can fill.
You can find portable water containers at Amazon, B&Q, Argos, Decathlon, and any other outdoor and camping stores or DIY stores. - I am travelling by public transport and cannot carry that much water.
Bring a 1 L or 500 mL bottle if you can. It just means more trips to the water tanks to refill
- How far are the shops for supplies?
Co-op is 5 min walk away, and Waitrose is 20min walk away
- I can no longer make it. What should I do?
