Latitude Festival 2025: A Cultural Extravaganza in the Heart of Suffolk

Latitude Festival 2026 celebrates its twentieth edition at Henham Park, Suffolk from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 July 2026, a four-day countryside escape where music, arts and wild nature meet around a glittering lake. Expect storybook sunsets, woodland paths strung with lights and that unmistakably warm Latitude crowd returning for a milestone year.

By day, Latitude’s multi-arts soul takes centre stage: big-name sets on the Obelisk mingle with discovery across BBC Sounds, late-night haunts and intimate woodland spaces, while comedy, theatre, dance, literature and spoken word keep every hour rich with surprises. It’s the UK’s most rounded cultural weekender — the place you’ll catch a book talk before a headline gig, then tumble into cabaret after dark.

The lake is part of the magic. Morning “Adventure Swims” and twilight sessions, guided by SwimTrek, invite you to see the festival from the water — a uniquely Latitude ritual that resets the senses before the next run of music and late-night revelry. Pack swimmers; few festival moments beat slipping into the lake as the site wakes or the sky turns pink.

Food and drink lean local and lovely: roaming street-food, pop-ups and craft bars dotted through shady clearings and on the lakeside lawns. Families are wholeheartedly welcomed, with dedicated spaces, workshops and gentle shows woven through each day so everyone finds their tempo. It’s as easy to savour a picnic and poetry as it is to dive into a dance tent.

Sleep is exactly what you make it. Roll up to General or Family Camping, opt for calmer corners, or upgrade to Pink Moon boutique glamping and Latitude Luxury for hot showers, pamper areas and furnished tents a short stroll from the arena — ideal if you want creature comforts without losing that under-the-stars feeling.

Getting there is refreshingly simple. Trains on the East Suffolk Line drop you at Halesworth, where official shuttle buses whisk you straight to the gates; there are also services from Southwold, Beccles and Kessingland across the weekend. If you’re driving, follow signed routes to Henham Park and settle in for four days of easygoing adventure.
