What is Hide&Seek Festival?

Hide&Seek is all about discovery and connection. An intimate escape where you can lose yourself in nature and find yourself in the music — or even the other way around. Hide&Seek isn’t built on scale or mass; it’s built on feeling and experience. Our ethos is rooted in connection and intimacy.

Accessibility

Please visit our accessibility page for more information.

Do we have to camp?

You can purchase a non-camping ticket if you don’t want to camp.

Early camping

If you’d like to access the campsite early, you can do so by purchasing an early access ticket. This allows you to arrive and set up on Thursday night, ready for a full weekend of music. Please note, there will be no artists playing on Thursday.

Campervans

Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer camper-van pitches.

Dress Code

Hide&Seek has always been about more than the music. It’s about stepping into a different world — one shaped by curiosity, creativity, and self-expression.

What we wear plays a huge part in creating that atmosphere. We encourage you to dress colourfully, expressively, and in a way that feels true to you.

To protect the feeling of the space we’ve created together, we ask that sportswear, tracksuits, and fluorescent or neon clothing are left at home.

This isn’t about rules, it’s about intention. When everyone buys into the world, the experience becomes something truly special.

Is this event 18+?

Yes, this festival is 18+ –  ID is required.
