We’re absolutely over the moon to have made the shortlist for TWO awards at the UK Festival Awards 2026!

We’re up for…

  • Independent Festival of the Year: We’ve been totally independent and free from corporate influence for over a quarter of a century! Plus we recently became the UK’s first Employee Owned Festival, find out more about that here.
  • Family Festival of the Year: Shambala is a very family-friendly festival, with a wild side. We are proud to have one of the most vibrant Kids’ Fields on the festival circuit, and a jam packed family-friendly programme across the entire festival!
