The LodeStar Ethos

A festival that feels personal, spacious and genuinely independent.

LodeStar is built around the simple idea that live music feels different when it has space around it — open skies, countryside air, warm hospitality and a setting that lets people relax into the weekend.

"It is where you look as though you are in the middle of nowhere, but feel at the heart of somewhere".

Born from a field, a festival and a belief in live music.

Set in the open countryside near Cambridge, LodeStar grew from a love of music, people and the atmosphere that only happens when a crowd gathers beneath open skies.

From emerging artists to established names, relaxed camping to shared evenings in the fields, the festival has always been shaped by the people who come, perform, work and return.

What LodeStar stands for

Independent Spirit

A festival with its own personality, shaped by people, place and a genuine love of live music.

Open Space

Room to breathe, gather, camp, explore and experience music away from the pressure of the city.

Shared Memories

A weekend built around friends, families, artists, food, laughter and moments that last long after the final song.

Established in the fields of Sunnyridge farm

A Cambridgeshire festival with history,
heart and a new chapter ahead.

LodeStar Festival has welcomed music lovers to the Cambridgeshire countryside since 2009, creating weekends of discovery, performance and atmosphere in a setting unlike a conventional venue.

The next chapter continues that spirit: independent, welcoming, spacious and rooted in the idea that festivals should feel human, memorable and alive.

Near Cambridge, but a world away from ordinary.

The Fields of LodeStar offer the rare feeling of escape without being remote. Open countryside, big skies and room to gather create the atmosphere — while Cambridge remains close enough for easy access.

That balance is part of what makes LodeStar special: it feels free, natural and expansive, yet connected, welcoming and easy to reach.

beyond the festival

The Fields of LodeStar are also a place for hosting, partnerships and countryside events.

Alongside the public festival, LodeStar offers a distinctive setting for corporate gatherings, private hospitality, brand partnerships and events that need more atmosphere than a hotel or conference room can provide.
