Fantasy Forest Festival at Sudeley Castle
14 July, 2023 - 16 July, 2023
The popular family-friendly festival returns to Sudeley Castle & Gardens this July 2023 with a weekend of entertainment, outdoor activities and fun for all ages.
Fantasy Forest, a unique festival celebrating the fantasy genre, is returning to the magnificent grounds of Sudeley Castle, from 14 – 16 July 2023 with a weekend of lively entertainment, fantasy-themed experiences and exciting new features.
This year’s festival will feature four stages of live music and entertainment, with bands playing upbeat, feel-good music that will have you on your feet dancing! The Film Orchestra will return on Sunday afternoon (16 July) with its spectacular 70-piece orchestra, performing favourite scores from fantasy and sci-fi films and games. This year they’ll also be bringing a 40-person choir!
A new addition to this year’s festival will be an unmissable performance from The West End Kids on Sunday 16 July. With an outstanding reputation of raising hundreds of West End and Broadway Stars since 2001, performances by The West End Kids are revered around the world.
Festival-goers can also try out fun craft and skills workshops, including a lightsaber session, which fans of Star Wars will enjoy!
Sit back and enjoy the festival atmosphere and the stunning castle grounds with your own picnic, or tuck into some of the tasty food stalls. The Wicker Fire Ceremony, held on Saturday evening, is a spectacular occasion in which a giant wicker structure (this year in the shape of a bear) is set alight and is a poignant highlight of the weekend.
