The UK’s festival scene is a kaleidoscope of sound, flavour, and unforgettable moments. From boutique escapes to full-throttle weekenders, these events shape our summers and spark lifelong memories. Now, for the first time ever, UK Festival Guides is giving fans the power to celebrate the best of the best — with the launch of the inaugural UK Festival Guides Awards.

🏆 What Makes These Awards Different?

Unlike other industry-led ceremonies, the UK Festival Guides Awards are built around fan votes. This is your chance to champion the festivals that truly moved you — whether it was a family-friendly day out, a genre-defining music lineup, or a hidden gem that deserves national recognition.

With over 12,000 votes already cast, the energy is building. Voting is open until 31st December 2025, and every single vote helps spotlight the organisers, artists, and crews who make the magic happen.
