Thaxted Festival 2026

Our summer 2025 season is now over. We’d like to thank all our audiences, artists and volunteers who made our season such a success, in the warmest of weather over four glorious summer weekends in June and July. 2026 will mark the fortieth anniversary year of Thaxted Festival in its modern form. In early 2026 we will hold our annual Launch Reception, with full details of our 2026 programme alongside tempting musical interludes.
