Beautiful Days – Escot Park

Beautiful Days 2026 is sold out, having shifted every ticket in April, four months before the gates open. If you’re still looking, the official resale partner is Tixel.

The lineup for this year’s edition is characteristically eclectic: Super Furry Animals, Madness, The Levellers, The Proclaimers, The Divine Comedy, Skindred, Gogol Bordello and The Wonder Stuff are among the headline acts, with much more across six stages. Sunday carries a Back to the 70s theme, spanning disco, glam rock, hippie and the earliest stirrings of punk.

Now in its 23rd year, Beautiful Days remains entirely independent, with no sponsorship or corporate funding of any kind. Alongside the music there’s The Magic Teapot, site art installations, a dedicated children’s area, Kanga Wellbeing, Walkabout Theatre, folk sessions, real ale from Otter Brewery and a carefully chosen selection of food and craft stalls. Family camping is on site.

Set at Escot Park near Ottery St Mary, it’s one of the most fiercely loved festivals in the UK, and the numbers bear that out: it sells out earlier every year.
