Crikey! We’re buzzing to have made the shortlist for 5 (yep, FIVE) categories in this year’s UK Festival Awards!

We’d absolutely love your support (in the form of votes!) to help us close out our 25th year of Adventures in Utopia with a proper cherry on top. 

We’re up for…

  • Independent Festival of the Year: Celebrating 25 years of total independence and creative freedom with zero corporate sponsorship
  • Medium Festival of the Year: For bringing our site to life with over 40 venues, hundreds of performances and participatory activities and 14,000 of you absolute beauties!
  • The Sarah Nulty Community Impact Award: For our Pay It Forwards initiative, NOSH Community Cafe & partnership with The Leaving Care Service
  • Green Award (decided by the judges): For making another ground-breaking step toward being a ‘fossil-fuel-free-festival’ and becoming the first UK festival to use biogas for cooking and heating.
  • Tech Innovation of the Year (decided by the judges): For The Next Stage’s state-of-the-art, immersive surround sound venue design and cutting-edge music programme.

Whether you came to cut loose, connect, get creative or just revel in the ridiculous – if Shambala lit up your summer, we need your support!
