A family festival packed with music, food, and entertainment is set to return to Dorset this year.

Family Fest 2026 will take place on a 12-acre site in Wimborne, Dorset, from Friday, May 29 to Sunday, May 31, promising a full weekend of activities for all ages.

Rob Batson, founder of Family Fest, said: "2026 is our biggest year yet with further enhancements on activities and shows included in tickets, a stronger live music schedule on the main stage, a new layout providing easier access to the festival site and the option to camp in the festival too."

The festival will feature live performances from artists including Lottie, Static Tandem, and Yazadi, as well as food traders, family crazy golf, and a Punch and Judy show.

Guests can also enjoy BMX stunt displays, a petting farm, falconry demonstrations, and more—all included in the ticket price.

Mr BAtson said: "We are proud to have returning partners including Total Guide to Dorset, Burrows Coaches, Titan Tents and Wimborne BID, as well as new partnerships with DripFeed Lab, MyTime Young Carers and Jimmy's and we look forward to welcoming you to our 9th festival, and our 6th festival in Wimborne, Dorset."

Tickets and more information can be found at the Family Fest website.
