Why Your Vote Makes a Difference

Every single vote has the power to shine a spotlight on the festivals you love. Your support encourages organisers to go bigger, bolder, and more creative each year. From family-friendly escapes to legendary dance weekends and rising newcomers — your voice helps decide who takes home the crown.

Festivals thrive when fans rally behind them. The more support an event receives, the better its chance to hit the podium and be celebrated as one of the UK’s most adored experiences.
