LeeStock 2027

About LeeStock Music Festival

Lee Dunford’s memorial gig came first, in 2006. The first LeeStock Music Festival followed in 2008, and the 2027 edition runs on 29-30 May at Kentwell Hall, Long Melford, near Sudbury in Suffolk. It is a music festival with a charity-fundraiser spine: the 2008 event drew nearly 300 people and raised almost £3,000 for Willow.

By 2026, donations to the Willow Foundation had passed £200,000. The festival moved in 2012 to The MEL Group Stadium, home of AFC Sudbury, before its current Kentwell Hall setting.

Lineup and Programme

The bill starts from indie rock, pop and acoustic music. Dance, hip-hop, reggae, soul and folk sit in the wider programme. Live music runs across the weekend, with sets on the Main Stage.

The non-music programme includes camping and a beer and cider festival. The family area adds face painting, bouncy castles, crafts, colouring and a football area.

Who Is It For?

The crowd is family-friendly and multigenerational. All ages are welcome, with under-16 child tickets available. Children need valid festival and campsite tickets where relevant, and must be accompanied by a paying adult.

The dedicated family area gives the clearest steer. Children have face painting, bouncy castles, crafts, colouring and a football area.
