Elderflower Fields returns for its special 15th anniversary celebration, inviting families to reconnect with nature and switch off from the demands of modern, tech-filled life. Widely recognised as the perfect first festival experience for families, this independent, award-winning weekend has evolved into a much-loved celebration of play, creativity and community. Over the past 15 years, generations have grown up with the festival: children who once explored the woods now return to take part, while parents who brought toddlers now volunteer alongside their teenagers. This enduring sense of connection makes Elderflower Fields far more than a festival; it is a welcoming, ever-growing community that gathers each late May bank holiday weekend to unplug and unwind in a unique wild setting.

Blending live performances, creative workshops, sports and woodland adventures, the festival offers a safe, spacious environment where families can explore freely. Thoughtfully designed with children in mind, it makes festival-going easy and enjoyable, with under-fours attending for free to encourage even the youngest visitors to join in. Food and drink are a standout feature, with Sussex ales, artisan coffee and freshly prepared dishes catering to all tastes and dietary needs. Across multiple stages and immersive natural spaces such as Lazy Glades, Urban Woods and Tumbledown Meadows, guests can enjoy a mix of much-loved acts and exciting new talent.

Set within the stunning Ashdown Forest, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and part of the Weald to Waves nature corridor, Elderflower Fields offers a rare opportunity to fully disconnect and embrace both the arts and the great outdoors in one of the UK’s most treasured landscapes.
