Hide & Seek Festival

About Hide & Seek Festival

Weston Park sets the frame for Hide & Seek Festival 2027 in Shifnal, an electronic music weekender rooted in house, techno and disco.

The festival first appeared in 2019, when RA listed its first edition at Capesthorne Hall on 31 August. The format is built around intimacy, discovery and connection rather than scale. South Staffordshire Council said the 2026 move to Weston Park was expected to draw around 8,000 attendees across the weekend.

Lineup and Programme

The bill leans into house, techno, disco and electronic music. Dance sets run across multiple stages.

Stage names associated with Hide & Seek include Contour Stage, Tentree Stage, The Dome / Dome Tent, Lovers Paradise and Fantasia. The Weston Park move was framed around allowing longer, more exploratory sets.

Who Is It For?

Hide & Seek is an 18+ festival. Entry is refused to under-18s, and a valid photo driving licence or passport is required.

The audience is an adult boutique electronic-music crowd, with the festival's own wording centred on intimacy, discovery and connection. It is not a family festival under the published age policy.
