Rivendell Festival 2026

Rivendell Festival is a 500 capacity independent music festival held in the woods near Workington, Cumbria. Running for over seven years, it's grown into a well-established small festival that focuses on quality live music, a friendly atmosphere, and a site that makes you feel comfortable.

There are three main stages:

• The Glade - set in a woodland clearing.

• The Shack - a striking larch-clad stage for bands.

• The Marquee - a tented space

The line-up mixes live bands and DJs, with emphasis on emerging talent and acts that deliver strong performances rather than chasing trends. The crowd is capped at 500, so sets feel close and personal without the chaos of larger events.

Alongside the music you'll find camping space, independent food vendors, and a well-stocked bar. Everything is on a manageable scale, so you spend more time watching music and less time queuing.

Rivendell is about good music, a good bar, and a crowd that comes back each year. If you want a weekend in the woods with live bands and like-minded people, this is it.
