Gadabout Music Festival 2026 Set to Bring Huge Weekend of Music and Camping to Cumbria

Music lovers across Cumbria are preparing for the return of the much loved Gadabout Music Festival as organisers confirmed the event will take place again in summer 2026.

The family friendly festival is scheduled for July 24 and July 25 at High Hall Farm in Croglin, with visitors also able to enjoy four days of camping during the weekend celebration.

Festival organisers promised another unforgettable experience packed with live music, entertainment, local food, and activities designed for all ages. The event has quickly grown into one of the region’s most talked about grassroots festivals, attracting music fans from across the North West.

This year’s lineup includes performances from Beans on Toast, Youth Sector, The Howlers, Dubinski, Midnight Rodeo, June Holland, Melanie Baker, The Slow Country, and several other independent artists expected to draw large crowds.

Organisers said the festival focuses on supporting emerging artists while creating an affordable and welcoming atmosphere for families and music fans alike.

Alongside the performances, visitors can expect comedy shows, yoga sessions, creative workshops, and a wide selection of street food vendors offering local favourites throughout the weekend.

Festival representatives described Gadabout as more than just a music event, saying the aim is to create a relaxed community experience where people can enjoy music, food, camping, and entertainment together in a scenic countryside setting.

Weekend tickets are priced at £70 for adults and £40 for under 18s, while children under six can attend free of charge.

The return of the festival is expected to provide another boost for the local tourism and hospitality sector as hundreds of visitors travel to the Eden Valley area for the summer event.
