Stowaway Festival

About Stowaway Festival

Across a 400-acre Blackpit Farm site in Buckingham, Stowaway Festival 2027 runs as an electronic-led music festival from 30 July to 1 August.

The first edition ran in August 2022. Published size estimates put the crowd at around 4,000–5,000 attendees, with the official site describing the event as independent and community-led.

Who Is It For?

The audience is multi-age. Stowaway’s own wording pitches it at true ravers, new ravers & little ravers, with families, first-timers and older ravers named in the same frame.

Free activities for kids and families sit alongside family raves, DJ workshops and kids’ arts/play sessions. Under-18s must attend with a responsible adult, under-2s need a free ticket, and licensed bars run Challenge 25.
