About Beautiful Days

Founded by Levellers in 2003, Beautiful Days 2027 returns to Escot Park, Nr Fairmile, Devon as an independent weekend camping music festival rooted in alternative rock, indie and folk.

It runs from 20 to 22 August 2027. Capacity is 17,500, including children, crew and artists.

The festival remains independent and unsponsored, with DMF Music listed as organiser.

The programme covers alternative rock and indie alongside folk, ska, reggae, punk, world music and dance/electronic.

Six stages are listed. The stage map uses Main Stage, The Big Top, The Little Big Top, The Theatre Tent, The Bimble Inn and The Rebel Tent.

Across the wider site, the programme also takes in The Magic Teapot, site art installations, Kanga Wellbeing, Walkabout Theatre and Folk Sessions.

Children’s programming covers crafts and music workshops, with circus and theatre also listed. Storytelling, clown shows, puppet shows and face painting are part of the children’s activity brief.

Who Is It For?

Beautiful Days describes its audience as all-ages and family-friendly.

All ages are welcome. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

The Children’s Area, family camping and children’s workshops put families into the site plan rather than treating them as an add-on.
