Spend the day at N-FEST 26 enjoying live music, craft drinks, food vendors and a family-friendly atmosphere while supporting local charities

N-FEST 26 is Newbury’s much-loved end-of-summer beer, music and family festival, returning to Northcroft Park for a full day of live entertainment, great drinks and community fundraising.

Expect live music from 12:15pm, a lively festival atmosphere, food vendors, family-friendly fun, and a huge selection of drinks including 100+ ales, ciders, gin, prosecco, rum and soft drinks.

Whether you’re coming for the bands, the bars or a relaxed day out with friends and family, N-FEST has something for everyone.

Run by volunteers from Newbury and Thatcham Hockey Club, N-FEST is a not-for-profit festival that raises money for local charities. In 2025, the festival raised £20,000 for causes including Sport in Mind and Hampshire Air Ambulance, and has raised more than £250,000 over its history.

This year’s event will be better than ever, with a strong main stage line-up, discounted advance drinks, free early bird entry for kids, and one of the best festival atmospheres anywhere!
