The Festival

Jo and Danny are delighted to welcome you to The Wake – an intimate one day festival in West Sussex. The 3rd edition takes place on Saturday 29th August 2026.  We are a completely independent festival, run by ourselves, family and friends. We have always loved sharing awesome music and wonderful vibes.  We have set the tickets at a lovely, affordable price so The Wake is accessible to all. 

​

We asked our friend Simon to write about The Wake experience.  His words capture our hopes for our time together. See you in the meadow!

​

The Wake is where music lives in the open air, between sound and landscape. 

​

Set within the fields and woodland of Loxwood Meadow in West Sussex, it’s a festival that’s open in every sense. Affordable, welcoming, easy to settle into.

​

From the founders of Green Man, it’s independent and carefully curated, with an immersive setting that lets the music breathe and the landscape do its part.

​

Built for memories, not crowds. This is where songs and sounds move through the woodland to illuminate and linger. Take your time and see what you find.

​

Moments that feel joyful, sometimes surprising, occasionally transporting –shaped by the natural spaces around you.

​

Stay with it, and let it wake something in you…

​

See you in the Meadow.
