SeekOut Festival

Friday 24 July 2026

African ensemble Suntou Susso and the Gambian Superstars

Blind Yeo

Electro Wizard Danalogue

The first wave of artists across two stages


Nestled in the stunning woodland of Gisburn Forest, SeekOut is a lovingly curated micro-festival, limited to fewer than 500 people, creating an intimate and welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels at home. The festival offers an exceptional mix of eclectic, high-quality live music, including national and local artists, alongside interactive art, theatre, wellbeing experiences and creative activities for all ages.

Proudly created and run by loyal volunteers, SeekOut is a safe, relaxed and family-friendly environment. Children are free to explore, play and laugh, roasting marshmallows around the fire pit, making new friends and enjoying the simple joy of being outdoors.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of the forest, and open space, SeekOut offers time to slow down, reconnect and feel free. Whether you’re dancing with friends, relaxing in the wellbeing spaces, or simply soaking up the peaceful setting, the sense of community and connection is at the heart of everything. Perfect for first-time groovers and seasoned seekers alike, SeekOut is a weekend of creativity, music and shared moments of remembering the now.

Glamping

Skip the setup and go straight to the groove. Your home for the weekend will be fully pitched and ready the moment you arrive.

We furnish your beautiful four-person bell tent with rugs and matting, inflate comfortable air beds, and even string up charming fairy lights. To finish the look, simply bring your own bedding from home and you’re set. You can drive right up and park next to your tent, meaning no parking ticket is needed and no hauling your gear across the field. You’ll have a premium spot with extra space, forest views, and access to a lovely hot shower in the house.

ONE GLAMPING TICKET PROVIDES PREMIUM CAMPING FOR UP TO FOUR PEOPLE.

EVERY PERSON SLEEPING IN A GLAMPING BELL TENT MUST ALSO HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL FESTIVAL ADMISSION TICKET.

If you are purchasing glamping tickets, please email info@seekoutfestival directly to confirm the number of people sleeping in the tent so we can dress the tent accordingly.

Early bird and Tier 1 tickets are SOLD OUT.

Due to high demand, we encourage you to act quickly to secure your tickets. This is the final release of tickets, when they are gone they are gone, get yours before it’s too late!

This event is managed by SeekOut Festival. Please send enquiries about the event to info@seekoutfestival.co.uk

A CAR PARKING TICKET MUST BE PURCHASED IF BRINGING A CAR

Why not take the green option to get to the festival site! We have teamed up with I Cycle to offer weekend bike hire.

Alternatively catch the dedicated festival shuttle bus. The Little Green Bus is offering a return trip from Clitheroe Interchange to the Forest.
