Deep in the heart of North Yorkshire, Willowman Festival is back once again this June with a line-up that’ll have you cooing with delight.

Set in the most picturesque surroundings imaginable, Willowman Festival returns this summer for a highly anticipated 10th-anniversary celebration. Known for its boutique and friendly atmosphere, this independent knees-up has carved out a unique space as a cornerstone of the north’s music calendar. What’s more, it offers an eclectic musical journey that caters to all tastes with this year’s bash featuring a vibrant mix of legendary acts and rising stars including heavy hitters like Alabama 3 (pictured), The Beat with Rankin Junior, and the energetic Dutty Moonshine Big Band. With genres taking in folk, ska, reggae, blues, rock, and world music, all bases are covered. And beyond the music, Willowman emphasises a relaxed, inclusive community vibe. Attendees can also explore “T'Other Field”, which serves as a hub for delicious vegan and vegetarian culinary delights (for those looking to elevate their stay, check out the glamping options). Whether you are a long-time fan returning for this anniversary milestone, or a newcomer seeking a quintessential festival experience, Willowman 2026 offers the perfect blend of live music, artisanal food, and lasting memories in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.
