All About ALSO
ALSO is the award-winning Warwickshire festival set within a stunning Capability Brown landscape – 50 acres of rolling parkland for festival-goers to explore, swim, relax, and let ideas run wild. The next ALSO takes place 10th - 12th July 2026.
The history
Born in 2014 from the loins of Salon London – a night that put ideas from authors, academics, and experts together with audiences in stylish evening Salons (described by GQ as “one of the top things to do in the world”) – ALSO was created to unleash ideas into the wild and to have fun doing so.
Passionately curated and research-led, ALSO is shaped by a team of experts with over two decades experience curating the intellectual heart of the UK’s most creative festivals, including Latitude, Wilderness, Standon Calling, Soho House, Festival No.6, Blue Dot, and Lost Village.
Our expertise spans theatre, music, comedy, wellbeing, craft, and design, with creative roots running from the National Theatre and Royal Ballet to collaborations with artists such as David Bowie, Interpol, and Laura Marling. And our network reaches deep into the creative industries, including major cultural institutions like the V&A and BBC, to the independent artists, comedians, and makers who bring our lakeside site to life each year.
Since its inception, ALSO has been hailed by Condé Nast Traveller as one of the 100 best festivals in the world, described by Forbes as “the definition of a boutique cultural event,” and has appeared every year on the top festival lists, including the Financial Times, The Guardian, The Sunday Times, Stylist, Time Out, and The Telegraph.
Now, we arrive at our 13th ALSO in 2026. . .
What to expect?
Over three days, ALSO unfolds like a choose-your-own-adventure through an immersive programme of ideas, music, comedy, wellbeing and food, and delivered in a way you won't find at any other festival. . .
Expect eccentric, playful, thought-provoking programming designed to get ideas into your head, with wild dancing and random fun by night. Choose from a huge programme of events - more than you could possibly pack into a single weekend - from life-enhancing ideas and big bands on the main stage, eclectic electronica and comedy in the woods, long table dinners, tastings and demos, guided swims and paddle board experiences, a lakeside wellbeing sanctuary complete with sauna, cold plunge, and a programme of creative masterclasses all across our spectacular lakeside location.
