About This Event
The Shindig Festival will take place in Bath on May 28, 2027. The event is noted for its lineup and new location for its eleventh year.
Shindig Festival returns for its eleventh year with an electrifying lineup and a fresh new location. Dubbed “a pint-sized version of Glastonbury,” this family-friendly event brings together an eclectic mix of international talent, immersive arts, and vibrant community spirit. For those seeking relaxation, the healing field provides yoga, saunas, and massages, while award-winning street food vendors offer a variety of culinary delights. Boutique camping includes luxury accommodations, a private bar, and a pamper parlour. With no main stages, the festival layout consists of stretch marquees, giant tipis, and hidden venues among the arboretum and secret playgrounds. A Festival for All Ages Shindig is known for its family-friendly atmosphere, offering a dedicated Kid’s Area packed with circus skills, climbing walls, space hoppers, sandpits, a graffiti wall, and DJ & breakdance workshops. The Craft Area will feature felt making, spoon whittling, woodworking, and jewellery workshops for all ages. Tickets Weekend adult tickets start at £175 plus booking fee.
