A World of ALSO ✨
If you’ve been to ALSO before you’ll know it’s like a ‘choose your own adventure’ through a programme of ideas, music, comedy, wellbeing and food, delivered in a way you won’t find at any other festival.
You’ll have seen world-class talks spanning science to philosophy, creativity to climate given by leaders in their field. You might have taken a creative masterclass, joined a guided walk or swum at dusk in Compton Pools.
Or maybe you were there for the party, the late night cabaret, the bands, the superstar DJs in the straw bale disco bunker?
And however you chose to spend your weekend, you’d have fallen into conversation with someone you’d not met before, found out something new or thought about something in a different way.
Over half of you who came this year have already booked to return in ’26 — if that’s you, we can’t wait to have you back. And if you haven’t been before? Well, there’s a reason so many are coming back . . .
#ALSO26. Established 2014. Where boutique meets the wild.

ALSO Does. . .
ALSO Does… Maximalist Atmosphere
Lean into the chaos . . .
a clash of colours, textures, and energy . . .
immersive dining, a riot of flavours . . .
every moment overwhelms the senses . . .
revel in the nonsense . . .
learn what is true…
ALSO Does… The Sacred Social
Ecstatic dance amongst walls of straw . . .
scream deep in the woods . . .
daily cacao and tea ceremonies . . .
sacred sound bath socials . . .
eye gazing amongst the trees . . .
ALSO Does… The New Nightlife
Drum and brass echo through the woods… a live-scored film at midnight, a world in sound… a moonlit swim in Compton Pools… a world-class DJ takeover at Bunker 54… immersive nighttime soundscapes… gypsy beats into the small hours… a late-night Charleston Ceilidh in the bar…
ALSO Does… Fashion on Sport.
No lugubrious leisurewear for us, thank you very much… from running wild in nature to striking a pose mid-serve… sport with fashion at its core… fun, fearless, and always looking the part… style doesn’t stop when you pick up the pace…
ALSO Does… Grounded Living
You peer through long blades of grass . . .
beauty surrounds you . . .
sunlight dapples through the trees onto the page of the book you’re reading . . .
your phone is out of battery . . .
you fall into conversation with the person next to you . . .
a sense of wellbeing like no other . . .
ALSO Does… The Saturday Night Spectacular
The Saturday Night Spectacular is the ritual that brings the festival together.
Designed for us to join as one at the most magical part of the day — you get the chance to be part of the performance, dress up, get down and celebrate our being together amongst all the theatrical creations built in community weekends throughout the year.
