Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone for making Solskin 2026 so special!

From the staff and volunteers, who work tirelessly to set up and keep the festival flowing, to the workshop facilitators who pass on their knowledge and skills of ways of old, to the Hammer hoards who battle through the heat all weekend and show off their reenactment skills, to the ceremonial team who weave their magic through rituals and performance, to the stage crew who keep the music lights and sound flowing, to the artists who bring us the music, stories, talks and funny shows, to the videographer and photographers who get the most amazing footage (cant wait to see!) to the traders selling their hand made wares, yummy food, ale and mead, to the security and medics who keep us safe and well, and to the Solskin tribe who all come together as one in a glorious sense of love and community. We love you all 🌞

For those of you asking, we are now going to have a bit of a break over the summer (with a little bit of behind the scenes work) and come back to you when we know next years plans and dates

And for now, we hope your mind, body and spirit are full of joy, and that your connection to the land stays true.

🌞 With only a few days to go, here's some important information about this year's festival 🌞

Arrival from 3pm on thursday.
The festival field does not open untill friday morning (including food and drinks, so please prepare for this)

Please park in the car park on arrival and make your way to the ticket booth to collect your wristbands

Campervans/caravans please drive towards the ticket booth to collect your wristbands and you will be shown where to park or directed to the overflow if applicable.

Tickets?
Your ticket is your order confirmation when you placed your order. Simply search your emails for Solskin Festival and state the order number(s) at the top of the email to collect your wristbands

Disabled Camping.
We have limited space in our disabled camping area. This area is reserved for blue badge holders only. Please show your blue badge to the ticket booth when you collect your wristbands and you'll be directed to the disabled camping area. Please note, this is 1st come 1st serve basis, please park respectfully for others needing this area

Space is tight on the campervan field. If you wish to spread out or want an awning etc, please use the overflow camping filed where there is plenty of room. It is only a 2 minute walk from the ticket booth. Thank you

Dogs
Well behaved dogs are very welcome at the festival. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and picked up after, thank you
Smoking

No fires. All cooking must be done off the ground please.

Sold out?
The festival has sold out this year, this means we have around 100 more guests than last year, there is still lots of space for everyone. We have intentionally created a micro festival with only 499 people on site all weekend, this keeps the great sense of community alive and does not feel over crowded and stressful, we have hopefully created a nice balance with great vibes and chilled atmosphere.

Hot weather!
The setup this week looks very hot indeed however the weather looks to be cooling by the weekend so all should be good. There is lots of shade at the festival, in Tipis, workshop shelters (when there's no workshops on) many trees all around the edges of the event fields and campsites but do please prepare for hot weather

Noise after 11.30pm
Please be mindful of other campers and keep the noise down late at night and early mornings

Rubbish
There is a skip provided for everyday rubbish (please no aerosols) for on your way out. Please take any larger broken items away with you. Thank you

No drugs or illegal substances aloud anywhere on site

No camping chairs in the tipis after 8pm

Smoking
Only around the fire pits please and ensure they are fully extinguished, thanks

We hope you all have an amazingly weekend full of fun, connections, enlightenment, merriment and ways of old. Look after your mind, body and spirit
