Celebrate the Magic of UK Festivals with the First Ever
UK Festival Guides Awards
From intimate boutique gatherings to epic weekend blowouts, the UK is bursting with festivals that inspire, excite, and bring people together.
For the first time ever, we’re uniting them all under one roof: The UK Festival Guides Awards. This is your moment to cheer for your favourites, applaud the organisers who make the magic happen, and help crown the very best festivals of 2025.
Join the Celebration – Your Vote Counts!
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.
