The Big Feastival 2027: Where Music, Food and Family Fun Come Together

The Big Feastival returns to Alex James’ farm near Kingham in the Cotswolds, serving up another irresistible celebration of live music, exceptional food and family adventure. Set among the rolling Oxfordshire countryside, this much-loved event combines the excitement of a major music festival with the warmth of a relaxed country escape, creating a weekend where brilliant performances and memorable flavours share the spotlight.

Launched in 2011 by Blur bassist Alex James and chef Jamie Oliver, The Big Feastival has developed into one of the UK’s most distinctive family festivals. Its winning recipe brings together chart-topping artists, acclaimed chefs, award-winning street-food traders and imaginative entertainment for children, all within the welcoming surroundings of a working farm.

The official music and culinary line-ups for 2027 have not yet been announced. Previous editions have featured an eclectic mixture of pop favourites, dance acts, indie performers and crowd-pleasing live bands, alongside leading chefs, restaurateurs and food personalities. Visitors can expect the new programme to follow the same inclusive approach, offering headline concerts, intimate performances, DJ sets, cooking demonstrations and opportunities to discover emerging talent.

Food remains every bit as important as the music. The festival traditionally features bustling street-food markets, chef demonstrations, dining experiences and fire-cooked feasts, with menus ranging from British comfort food to international dishes and plant-based choices. Bars, picnic areas and relaxed woodland spaces provide plenty of opportunities to slow down and savour the countryside atmosphere.

Families can explore craft workshops, games, dance sessions, outdoor adventures and entertainment created especially for younger visitors. The combination of open spaces and carefully programmed activities makes the festival accessible to different generations without losing the energy of a proper summer celebration.

Weekend camping options traditionally include general pitches, accessible camping and spaces for live-in vehicles, with boutique accommodation available for those seeking extra comfort. Non-camping visitors can stay in nearby Cotswolds villages and towns. Kingham railway station is only a short walk from the festival site, providing convenient connections from London, Oxford and other regional destinations.

With its joyful mixture of music, food and countryside freedom, The Big Feastival 2027 promises another delicious summer escape filled with shared meals, uplifting performances and unforgettable family moments.
