Set within one of the region's most iconic landscapes, Cheshire Fest returns on 22 August 2026 with a bold new chapter at Tatton Park from 12pm – 11pm.

The festival experience is designed to move seamlessly from relaxed daytime sessions into high-energy evening moments, combining live music, electronic sounds and premium hospitality for a standout summer celebration.

"We're delighted to welcome festival-goers to enjoy a day that combines great music and atmosphere in a truly unique setting."

The brand-new Arc Stage, set against the stunning backdrop of Tatton Park's ancient woodland features a full-scale light show and cutting-edge sound production, delivering unforgettable performances from mid-afternoon through to sunset, capturing the true spirit of Cheshire Fest.

At the heart of the festival, Cheshire Fest's vibrant Street Food Village and social seating areas are designed to keep festival-goers fuelled, refreshed and relaxed throughout the day.

A carefully curated line-up of premium street food traders will serve everything from gourmet classics and global flavours to vegetarian and vegan dishes, alongside sweet treats and great coffee, showcasing the very best of regional food talent.

Across the site, multiple tented bar areas return bigger and better than ever, offering premium brand drinks, ice-cold draught beers, cocktails and quality wines that Cheshire Fest is renowned for.

By day, relaxed seating and informal entertainment areas provide the perfect place to unwind between sets. As evening falls, the Main Bar takes centre stage, hosting daytime artists before transforming into a late-night disco with quality local DJs.

Festival-goers can also grab a drink and explore the tipis and chill-out spots, soaking up the atmosphere as flags flutter overhead and the festival buzz fills the air — a truly magical experience.
