Into the Wild reveals plans for 2026

Musicians, artists, naturalists, craftspeople, storytellers and changemakers will be at the centre of nature-based festival Into the Wild 2026.

The event returns from Friday, August 28th to Monday, August 31st at Chiddinglye Farm in West Sussex.

Revelleres are invited to reconnect with nature, embrace creativity, find a sense of community and experience workshops, wellbeing and music.

Organisations such as WWF, the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, the Woodland Trust, South Wealden Badger Group, Ecotalk, Ecotricity, Zaytoun CIC, and Fox Angels Foundation will be sharing inspiring projects, practical ideas and opportunities for people to become involved in restoring the natural world.

There will be three stages alongside a wide range of cultural spaces, presenting live music, performance, workshops and participatory experiences.

Acts to play include BCUC, Fulu Miziki, Mr Williamz (Ignition High Power), Northern Poet & The Urban Druids, Sika, Subhadra Desai, Tashi Lhunpo Monks from Tibet, The Egg, Azaria Franco, Gabriella Frances, The Butterfly Wheel, Super Claud, Kristian, Heiko, and Miss Lightbeam.

The festival also supports the work of Wilderlands CIC, a community interest company dedicated to restoring habitats, creating space for wildlife and helping reconnect people with nature through practical conservation, education and rewilding initiatives.

Festival founder Huw Williams said: "Into The Wild is about stepping away from the constant noise of modern life and rediscovering presence, connection and community in a natural setting. It’s about learning, being with nature, and remembering a more grounded way of living."
