Live on the Wye 2026

Live on the Wye 2026 takes place on 5–6 June in Redbrook, Monmouthshire, Wales. Set on the Redbrook AFC sports field in the scenic Wye Valley, this two-day community festival offers music, food, and family-friendly fun.

Music and Culture

The festival features around 14 original and emerging artists from Wales and beyond, with genres including acoustic folk, country, indie rock, and roots. Multiple stages run performances from midday to late evening. Visitors can also enjoy an arts-and-crafts market and a variety of food stalls offering gourmet burgers, vegetarian curries, wood-fired pizzas, and homemade cakes, alongside local ales, ciders, and craft beers. A relaxed Friday-night fringe event often welcomes early arrivals.

Family-Friendly Activities

All children under 16 enter free, and a £5 “Imaginarium” ticket provides access to a supervised kids’ tent with drumming workshops, circus skills, arts and crafts, a bouncy castle, and face-painting. The festival is safe, inclusive, and volunteer-run, with a no-glass, no-driving policy. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome.

Camping and Accommodation

On-site tent camping is available, with previous two-night rates at £15 per person. Nearby accommodation includes the Bell Inn B&B in Redbrook and guesthouses in Monmouth, 3 miles away. Early booking is recommended due to limited availability.

Getting to Redbrook

By Road

Redbrook is accessed via the A466 (the Chepstow–Monmouth road). The festival site is roughly 3 miles south of Monmouth and 13 miles north of Chepstow, with event parking usually provided on site.

By Bus

Public buses run through Redbrook several times a day. Route 69 links Monmouth and Chepstow, passing through Tintern and Redbrook.

By Train

The nearest train stations are Chepstow (on the Cardiff–Gloucester line) and Abergavenny (on the Welsh Marches line). From either station, visitors can take a taxi or bus to Redbrook.

By Air

Bristol Airport (~60 miles) and Cardiff Airport (~80 miles) are the closest international hubs, both requiring a car or public transit connection for the final leg of the journey.

Accommodation

The village itself has limited lodging options, such as the historic Bell Inn pub, which offers B&B rooms. Larger nearby towns like Monmouth (3 miles away) and Chepstow (15 miles) have a wider selection of hotels, inns, and self-catering cottages. On-site tent camping is often available for festival ticket holders as well. With accommodations limited in this rural area, booking well in advance is advised to secure a place to stay.
