Lindisfarne welcomes disabled festival goers and takes all reasonable measures to assist with their attendance and enjoyment of the event. At the same time, the festival takes place in the open countryside and disabled guests should be aware that the main arena, car park and surrounding areas are, naturally, fairly uneven and may be difficult to navigate. Where possible when designing the site, we do so, so it utilises level, flat routes, to make the event as accessible as possible for wheelchair users.

There will also be a dedicated viewing area for wheelchair users to view the event, though it does have a capacity and will be first come first served to wheelchair users and their companions and we have disabled toilet facilities in the festival arena and in the disabled campsites. More information on disabled camping can be found under the Camping Section.

To obtain access to these facilities, you will need to contact our team via the Contact Page or email the team on [email protected] to ask for an Accessibility Questionnaire which is used to help determine exactly which areas are needed to enhance your experience. Please get in touch with our team at least two weeks before the event so we can ensure they can accommodate.

If you have any other specific requirements, let us know via our Contact Page and where at all possible, we’ll endeavour to help.

Access to facilities is subject to availability and not guaranteed. Anyone turning up on the day without making prior arrangements may not be able to access our facilities if they are full to capacity.

If you are disabled and require the assistance of a carer (or in the case of a disabled customer aged under 18, an additional carer, in addition to the ticket holder aged over 18, which is required to accompany you), you may apply for a free Carers Ticket to accompany you at the festival. If you wish to apply for the same please email us at [email protected]  or contact our team via the Contact Page.

We welcome applications from bands and artists. Applications for 2025 will run from the start of September to the end of November 2024.

When applying, from 1st September 2024, please complete our application form with as many details as possible and tell us about your music, where you’ve played and why you’d like to play at Lindisfarne. We receive hundreds of applications each year but they are all given full and fair consideration. The Team will get back in touch if your application is being considered.

Please include live footage links and submit our application form.

There will be a designated ‘quieter’ camping area near the back of the camping field (past the glamping area). Space will be allocated on a first come first served basis, so if you wish to set up camp here we highly recommend you arrive on the Thursday or early on the Friday. We do have measures in place to keep the noise to a minimum after hours but we are a festival (with a late entertainment license) and therefore some level of noise will be expected (so bring some decent earplugs!)

GLAMPING TICKETS UPGRADES are for a luxury Glamping package for up to 3 people (4 metre tent option) or up to 4 people (5 metre tent option). The ultimate luxury festival experience, located in its own glamping village and includes access to the communal pamper station and charging area and posh loos and showers! Your boutique glamping tent is a premium canvas Bell Tent complete with carpeted floors, luxury deep-fill beds that sleep up to 4 people and fresh, comfy duvets and pillows.

With solar power lighting indoor and outdoor this is festival life at its finest. Our glamping beds, whilst comfy, are floor level so please contact us if you have mobility issues that may require a raised bed.

Plenty of spare blankets will be available in to enjoy your outdoor seating area or to wrap up in your tent ready for the perfect night’s sleep

The upgrade price is for the whole Glamping package, not per person. Please note the upgrade ticket is for the Glamping Package only and each person glamping must also have an individual Weekend Camping Ticket.

No. The festival is at Beal Farm, which is on the mainland opposite Holy island (aka Lindisfarne) approximately 50 miles North of Newcastle, 8 miles South of Berwick, and 65 miles South of Edinburgh. Our site has spectacular views overlooking the island and the coast. We are located on the right just before the entrance of the Lindisfarne Causeway.

What 3 words: Cookers hammocks stray

Arriving vehicles will be only be permitted entry to the site between these hours:

  • Thursday 28th August: 11am – 9:30pm
    Friday 29th August: 11.30am – 9:30pm
    Saturday 30th August: 8am – 9:30pm

Whilst you may bring a reasonable amount alcohol into the campsite to consume, there is strictly no alcohol allowed to be brought into the festival arena. We have had issues in the past of people of bringing excess alcohol into the campsite with the intention of selling, so we limit the amount of alcohol people can take into the campsite. Please do not bring more than a reasonable amount for personal consumption as excessive amounts may be confiscated by security.

Strictly NO GLASS allowed and NO EXCESSIVE SPIRITS (beyond personal consumption).

We’ll be bringing you details on 2025 artists from Autumn 2024!

YES! Kiss goodbye to the baby wipe showers – Due to increasingly popular demand Lindisfarne Festival 2025 will have some shower facilities with fresh running water available. Don’t forget your towel!

Showers will be subject to a small usage fee (payable onsite) to cover the facilities and staffing costs.

Yes, our mainstage is located in the Shorefields venue and this will be where our headline acts play. There will be 8 separate music marquees/venues – each with a fantastic line-up and headline act. Each marquee has a strict capacity so we recommend that if there is a specific act you want to see, like with any festival, it’s best to get into the venue nice and early. Although, with our very diverse audience and so much fantastic stuff going on, it’s quite unlikely that you won’t be able to get in to see your favourite acts.

The festival is on the coast and it can be quite exposed to the elements. Be prepared! We recommend bringing warm layers of clothing and extra tent pegs just in case.

Lindisfarne Festival is an over 18’s only event and we operate a challenge 25 policy at both the box office and our bars. If you don’t have valid I.D. you may be refused entry or service. The lead ticket booker in your group (the named ticket holder) WILL need to show I.D. at the box office in order to exchange tickets for wristbands. Entry will not be permitted if the named ticket holder is not present.

It was not our intention to exclude children from Lindisfarne Festival. In our launch year, we had many things to consider like budgets, logistics and the law and it was just not possible for us to provide adequate measures and entertainment for children. We are still seriously considering making this a family friendly festival in the future – but right now the feedback we have had tells us the majority want us to keep this as an over 18’s only event. We hope parents can understand our decision and better yet embrace the opportunity to have a night or two off from parental duties and fully immerse themselves in the great party atmosphere of our festival.

You are welcome to bring chairs into the arena area but not into the music marquees except for in exceptional circumstances). If you require a chair inside the marquees for disability purposes please speak to one of our stewards.

There will be music from 3pm til 1am on Thursday night. On Friday and Saturday there will be music from mid-morning until 4am.

Each marquee will have a headline act and will differ to the times as to when they are on. The lineup schedules will be posted on our website and social media a few weeks prior to the event. We also have chalk boards outside each tent with the running orders of each day so any changes will be communicated that way.

The festival arena may have some uneven ground surfaces, so please do wear appropriate sturdy footwear (no high heels or soft soles). We have had no real mud issues in previous years to date, but it would be wise to bring your wellies or alternative suitable waterproof boots (just incase). You should also bring a rain coat, sun screen and of course appropriate warm clothing (layer up!). Be prepared for all weather! It is a festival in England after all. But of course, don’t forget your fancy dress costume!

BORN OUT OF THE DESIRE TO CREATE SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THE NORTH EAST, LINDISFARNE FESTIVAL CAME TO LIFE IN EARLY SEPTEMBER 2015, WHEN A 2000 STRONG CROWD DESCENDED ONTO THE GLORIOUS FIELDS AT BEAL FARM TO EXPERIENCE A WEEKEND LIKE NO OTHER – THE ULTIMATE END-OF-SUMMER PARTY ON THE SPECTACULAR NORTHUMBERLAND COASTLINE.

A small festival on a BIG mission, Lindisfarne Festival is continually striving to create and sustain the most incredible yet affordable music, arts & wellness festival in the whole of the UK! A mission to bring together people from all walks of life for a weekend of pure unadulterated fun in a truly spectacular location. A mission to shine a spotlight on talent, support those in need, encourage exploration of the extraordinary and celebrate some of life’s greatest treasures: music, art, nature and above all else – people!

Providing a wonderful hedonistic escape from reality, Lindisfarne Festival is a place where you can shed all responsibility and revert to that care-free, childlike state of being. For one weekend of the year, forget all of your troubles, disconnect from the stresses and strains of everyday life and focus on nothing but having an absolutely amazing time with the amazing people around you.

Lose yourself, find yourself – do whatever you want to do. Immerse yourself in great music and entertainment, surrounded by the best bunch of people and breath-taking scenery.

What to expect in 2025…
Every year we vow to take things up a level in terms of the event programming, the site design and of course our lineup and every year we deliver!

2024 was absolutely off the scale and we are even more determined to make sure 2025 is our best festival to date!

Our charity partner for 2025 will be announced soon.

We were proud to be working with St Oswald’s Hospice as our charity partner  in 2024:

Charity of the year!

Lindisfarne Festival, the North East’s biggest end of summer party, has announced St Oswald’s Hospice as it’s Charity of The Year for 2024.

St Oswald’s are a charitable hospice rooted in the North East. They provide outstanding, specialist and expert care to adults and children with life-limiting conditions. They strive to provide quality time for everyone. As a charity close to a lot of the teams hearts, we are honoured to have them as our charity partner for 2024.

Volunteers will be on site at Lindisfarne Festival raising awareness of the work the charity does and fundraising on behalf of the hospice and a number of fundraising activities in the run up to the Festival will be taking place, with Lindisfarne Festival donating tickets and exclusive prizes to the charity for fundraising events throughout the coming months and will be making a contribution direct to the charity from money raised through various activities at the festival.

To find out more about St Oswalds visit https://www.stoswaldsuk.org

If you can spare a pound or two please donate to our fundraiser for St Oswald’s here https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/soh-lindisfarne2024

 

We are committed to reducing the impact of the event on the wider world, and most importantly, on those who call this wonderful area their home. We have been blessed with a beautiful music festival location, but unfortunately, our event site doesn’t exist inside a bubble. We therefore ask that all festivalgoers, artists and traders alike, abide by our Green Policy and are respectful to both our surroundings and our neighbours (human and wild!)

TREAD LIGHTLY!

When you plan your route to the Lindisfarne Festival, please take a moment to consider the environment. If you are driving to the festival, fill your car (with people, not just beer). If you can’t travel with old friends, travel with new ones! Find fellow festivalgoers to car share with on our Facebook and Twitter pages. Remember that you can reach the festival by bus or train too. Our FREE festival bus will run to & from the festival site from Berwick Train Station on Friday & Sunday.

ENJOY IT DON’T DESTROY IT!

If you wouldn’t drop it on the floor in your garden at home, don’t drop it at our festival. No one wants to live or play in a field full of rubbish.

There will be waste bins and recycling points placed throughout Lindisfarne festival arena and the campsite, so please use them!!! It’s no-one’s idea of fun to spend the week after the festival picking litter from the ground. And we certainly wouldn’t want to upset the wildlife or the residents either.

We need EVERYBODY to help us with this mission. If you have a messy neighbour, speak up and help them see the error of their ways. If everybody does his or her bit – it really will make all the difference. We are truly thankful to the powers that be who have allowed us to stage the Lindisfarne Festival within such a beautiful location. If you’d like to join us in 2019, please ensure you stick to the rules – so we can all return again next year.

LIGHTEN THE LOAD!

Please remove all unnecessary packaging from things you are bringing to our festival site. This includes plastic can rings, boxes and all other general packaging. It’s amazing how a box of wine can double up as a travel pillow without the excess cardboard bulk! The less stuff you bring, the less you will need to take, carry and throw away. Reducing the amount of packaging that everyone brings to the site will reduce our waste bill, which means we can spend more money on lovely things for all of you lovely people to enjoy.

LEAVE WITHOUT A TRACE…

It is our mission to leave the site without leaving a physical trace of us ever being there. To do so, we need your help. All that you bring with you, please take home, along with the wonderful memories of your amazing weekend at Lindisfarne Festival.

We’ve seen Vikings & Monks, shipwrecked Pirates & Punks invade our festival shores over recent years. In 2021 a Vikings & Wonders of the sea theme reigned supreme… In 2022 our theme was Vikings, Freaks & Geeks! 2023 saw Vikings & Rainbows brighten up our festival site and we’ll be bringing you details of 2025’s them early in the new year… Keep your eyes peeled Pilgrims!

 

Our theme for 2024 was…

Can’t wait to hear about our theme for 2025?

We’ll announce it on social and via email closer to Lindisfarne Festival 2025.

Lindisfarne Festival is a dog-friendly festival! We welcome good doggos with open arms, provided they bring with them well-behaved owners – who fully respect our land, our facilities and above all else other festival goers.

If you are planning to bring your four-legged friend to the festival, we have decided to move away from dog tickets so from 2024, dogs will be admitted free of charge with a ticket holder, and new for 2025, we will be working with dog welfare charities to bring a special doggy ‘welfare area’ to Lindisfarne Festival bringing shade, fresh drinking water & treats for your four legged friends. Will be bringing full details over the coming months. If you are bringing your dog, you must agree to abide by the following regulations at all times:

  • Dogs are strictly NOT allowed in the music marquees (unless they are authorised assistance dogs). They must ALWAYS be kept in control and on short leads (under 1.5m) at ALL times during the festival and in our campsite.
  • It is YOUR responsibility to pick up after your dog and adhere to the Festival’s dog policy as well as abide by the law. YOU will be responsible for any damage/mess caused by your dog whilst on site at Lindisfarne Festival. Failure to comply with our dog policy may result in you and your dog being asked to leave the festival. Under such circumstances, NO refunds will be given.
  • Please be considerate to others – it’s hard to believe, but not all people love dogs like we do! If your dog’s temperament can sometimes be a cause for concern, carefully consider whether bringing them to the festival is the best decision.
  • Please also do ask yourself whether bringing your dog to the festival is right for them. There will be loud music, potentially rowdy crowds and whilst some dogs may love the action and lap up the attention, others may prefer to stay snuggled up at home.

Remember, Lindisfarne Festival is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Northumberland coast, please take some time to read this leaflet to remind yourself and familiarise yourself with The Laws and regulations, which apply not only around the coast but at our festival too!

If you do decide to bring your dog to Lindisfarne Festival, you must accept that you have read and understand our dog policy by purchase of any admission ticket which is part of our ticket T&C’s.

During the festival we will be constantly be monitoring the festival site and the surrounding weather conditions and have procedures in place for evacuation. If we detect the potential of lightning strikes in the locality, we will suspend the activities within the festival site immediately. Announcements will be made in each marquee asking people to evacuate in an orderly manner. Security staff, festival staff and volunteers will aid you during the evacuation. For more information on how to stay safe at the festival during an electrical storm, please refer to our Safety & Security info page.

The priority of the Lindisfarne festival is the safety and welfare of all attendees. Lindisfarne Festival intends to be a safe, peaceful and enjoyable event. Crime, of any description, will not be tolerated. Security staff and stewards will be patrolling the site for crime prevention purposes.

Stay within the designated festival areas. Do NOT wander off onto adjacent land.

Stay off the causeway! It is very dangerous!

Report anyone you think is acting suspiciously or aggressively to stewards.

Arrange a meeting point with your friends if you get split up from each other, so you know where to head to.

We know you want to have a drink or two, but do consider that drinking to excess can leave you vulnerable. Please look after yourselves and look out for each other.

If you want to go over to Holy Island, please do not walk and make sure you check the tide times first. Holy Island is a tidal island and if you do not pay attention to the safe crossing times you will find yourself in a life-threatening situation.

Please be sensible and don’t take unnecessary risks.

Lock and empty your vehicles. Leave the glove compartment open and conspicuously empty.

Look after your belongings – make sure you keep your mobile, iPod and wallet/ purse safe and out of sight. Do not leave valuable items on display in your car or tent.

If you have a smartphone, activate the ‘find my phone’ app or similar. Make sure you keep a note of any usernames or passwords.

Set up camp with friends, and make friends with your neighbours. Look out for each other’s property.

Mark your property: clearly label your gear (including your tent) with your postcode. Obvious indelible markings will significantly reduce the risk of things being stolen and will increase the chance of their return if found. Tag your keys with a phone number and a friend’s address.

Take any valuables – including prescription medication – with you when you leave your tent.

Don’t keep all your cash and valuables in the same place: spread them around in different pockets.

If we detect the potential of lightning strikes in the locality, we will suspend the activities within the festival site immediately. Announcements will be made in each marquee asking people to evacuate in an orderly manner. Security staff, festival staff and volunteers will aid you during the evacuation.

The safest place to be during an electrical storm is inside a motor vehicle. In the event of an evacuation please return to your vehicle, keeping windows closed and hands and feet away from metal parts of the car including the car body. Please note that convertible cars are not suitable refuge points and should not be used.

Please do not start your car engine. In order to reduce the risk of collisions between pedestrians and vehicles during an evacuation, vehicles shall not be allowed to move or leave the site.

If you are unable to take refuge in a motor vehicle we recommend that you return to your tents, the advice is to leave your shoes on, crouch down and make yourself small on an insulated surface such as a sleeping mat or backpack, without placing your hands on the ground for support. Do not touch the sides of the tents or the tent poles.

The festival site will not re-open until a minimum of 45 minutes since the last sound of thunder and our lightning detection equipment has indicated that the storm has passed more than 15 miles from the site. We will use our PA systems to communicate appropriate messages and updates.

Lindisfarne Festival operates a tiered ticketing system. This means that our ticket prices start cheaper and increase as we near closer to the actual event, so the earlier you book, the bigger the discount you will get. Other than the price you pay, there is absolutely no difference to the ticket you receive, no matter what tier you purchase your ticket at. We have a set allocation of tickets for each pricing tier. Once the set allocation of tickets has sold out we progress onto the next tier and the price increases.

Day tickets are available for Saturday to Sunday only and include camping.

Parking does come at a cost and passes can be pre-booked online at a discounted rate. If you need to pay on arrival, parking will be charged at a flat rate – no matter what day you arrive. We encourage you to use public transport and take advantage of our bus service from Berwick Train Station or car share with other festival-goers to reduce the impact of the festival. More info on getting to the festival can be found here.
