Looking for a music-filled weekend in the southern Lake District? SnugFest 2027 returns to the woodland setting of Fell Foot Wood near Newby Bridge, bringing a grassroots music festival with hand-picked artists, a friendly atmosphere and the chance to spend a weekend surrounded by nature.
What to expect at SnugFest 2027
SnugFest puts live music and emerging talent at the heart of the experience. Rather than a large commercial festival, it focuses on a more intimate woodland gathering and a programme of grassroots bands and performers. The 2027 artist line-up has yet to be announced, so check the ticket organiser for updates.
Dates and tickets
The ticket listing advertises 13–15 August 2027. It also describes the main music event as 13–14 August, so check your particular ticket for the precise arrival, performance and departure arrangements. Adult weekend visitor and weekend camping tickets are listed, alongside under-16 options. Prices and availability can change, and booking fees may apply.

Where is Fell Foot Wood?
The festival takes place at Fell Foot Wood, Newby Bridge, Ulverston, LA12 8NN, near the southern end of Windermere.

Follow the event organiser’s directions and check parking and access information before travelling.
Make a weekend of it
Planning to enjoy the whole weekend at SnugFest? Choosing accommodation close to Fell Foot Wood makes it easier to relax after the music and explore the southern Lake District during the day. There are several areas worth considering, depending on whether you prefer a hotel, a cosy B&B or camping at the festival.
Best areas to stay for SnugFest
- Newby Bridge: The most convenient area to look for accommodation near Fell Foot Wood. Check the exact distance to the festival entrance before booking, as rural routes are not always suitable for walking after dark.
- Lakeside and the southern shore of Windermere: A scenic base for a longer break, with lakeside attractions and countryside nearby. Check travel arrangements to the festival site.
- Ulverston: A larger town with more places to eat and accommodation choices, but you will need to arrange transport to and from the woodland venue.
- Bowness-on-Windermere: A wider selection of hotels and restaurants for visitors combining the festival with a Lake District holiday, although it is farther from Fell Foot Wood. See our Bowness visitor and accommodation guide.
Camping or a hotel?
Festival camping: If you want to stay close to the music, check the camping ticket options on the official ticket listing. Make sure your ticket includes camping; a visitor ticket may not.
Hotels, guesthouses and holiday cottages: These are good options if you prefer a private room and a quieter night’s sleep. Search Newby Bridge first, then widen your search to Lakeside, Ulverston and Bowness if availability is limited.
