Small World Spring Festival returns to Gloversbridge Farm, Headcorn, Kent from 21st to 25th May 2026 for five days of music, creativity and sustainable living. This intimate, solar powered gathering brings together musicians, artists, healers and families in a colourful celebration of community, craft and ecological practice.
Expect an eclectic musical line up across several solar stages with flavours from ska, reggae, Balkan, funk and psychedelia to folk, Americana, gypsy jazz and world music. Acoustic spaces host singer-songwriters, spoken word, buskers and campfire sessions for quieter, soulful moments.
Families are welcome and catered for with a dedicated kids area on the village green offering creative play, theatre, music, science workshops, arts and crafts, parades and a programme for teens including circus skills and stage activities. The friendly, small-scale atmosphere makes it easy for parents and children to relax and join in.
Workshops cover music, dance, sound, craft, renewable energy, permaculture, yoga and astronomy, while a broad healing programme features Thai massage, reiki, reflexology, aromatherapy, sound healing and shamanic journeying. Plenty of skill sharing, talks and community spaces support sustainable living and learning.
Food stalls focus on delicious vegetarian and vegan options with locally produced, organic choices alongside farmhouse bacon and egg sarnies and a Sunday roast. On-site facilities include hot showers, sauna, communal fires and a site shop, with recycling and shuttle provision.
Please note booking fees apply to advance tickets and standard or concession deposit tickets require the balance to be paid at the festival. Book early to secure tickets for this warm, community-led celebration of music, arts and sustainable living.
