Where It All Began Festival 2027
Description
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
WE'RE NOT WAITING FOR CHANGE : WE'RE CREATING IT
After 25 years of pouring our hearts into Chai Wallahs, our award-winning independent festival touring venue, and proud champion of grassroots culture and independent musicians; we are at breaking point and we are not alone!
The grassroots live sector stands at a crossroads. Grassroots venues are closing, independent festivals are collapsing, the squeeze of corporate dominance and creeping Government authoritarianism is being felt across the landscape, and the creative ecosystem that once defined British culture is under threat. However, there is a solution, and a new movement is on the rise.
IMAGINE...
A return to the roots - a place where the creative spirit and the core values of festival culture are upheld. High quality production is standard, musical diversity the foundation, and where audiences feel valued, respected and a deep sense of community.
A place where ‘All Good Things Come Together’
INTRODUCING - 'WHERE IT ALL BEGAN' FESTIVAL
A new, collaborative, not-for-profit festival designed to secure the future of grassroots music, venues, festivals and creative culture. Championing independent artists, fostering discovery and shared experiences; ensuring that music, art, and festival culture remain accessible, authentic, and thriving for future generations.
'Where It All Began’ will be held at Grange Farm, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire; Stunning and Iconic in equal measure, and home to Secret Garden Party; the show that inspired a wave of creativity when it exploded onto the festival scene in 2004.
Set for 18th-20th June 2027, the festival will celebrate the Solstice, the peak of solar energy, and the start of British summertime.
The festival is designed to welcome music-loving festival goers, maintaining an intimate and comfortable atmosphere across a thoughtfully planned site with a focus on comfort, flow, and connection throughout.
The intended result, a vibrant, refreshing and rewarding environment with something for every taste, where everyone is welcome and a good time is guaranteed.
