Join us in 2026 for a weekend shaped by connection, spacious freedom, and deep inclusion.
LoveHerder brings people together through music, creativity, and community ... a welcoming place where inspiration feels natural, where you can step into something real, and where coming home isn’t a destination but a feeling that rises the moment you arrive.
"Freedom begins in the moment that you choose to believe in yourself ....."
Join us in 2026“I arrived on my own and expected to stay on the edges, but I was welcomed instantly. People were open, kind, and easy to talk to. I found myself joining in with things I’d normally shy away from. I left with new friends and a real sense of belonging. I'll definitely be back!” - Amy
“LoveHerder gave me a sense of calm and connection I didn’t realise I’d been missing. The atmosphere was gentle, welcoming, and completely free of pressure. I felt safe to just be myself, meet new people,and enjoy the music and workshops in my own time. It was the first festival where I left feeling genuinely restored.” - Sally
“Bringing my children to LoveHerder was such a positive experience. It felt safe, relaxed, and full of big belly laughs!! We danced, explored, attended workshops and spent time together without the usual chaos of festivals. It’s rare to find something that works for both adults and kids and LoveHerder really did.” - Lisa
“LoveHerder is one of the most accessible and inclusive events I’ve ever been to. As a neurodivergent person, I often struggle with sensory overwhelm, but everything here felt calm and clearly signposted. I felt understood without having to explain myself, which is rare and deeply appreciated.” - Pete
“As someone who usually feels overwhelmed at events, LoveHerder was a breath of fresh air. The space felt calm, friendly, and thoughtfully designed. I never felt judged or out of place. I left feeling lighter, more connected, and genuinely hopeful.” - Ade
“I’m nine months into giving up drinking, and LoveHerder was the first place where I felt completely at ease being sober. No awkwardness, no pressure, just genuine connection and acceptance. I could actually be present, meet people properly, and enjoy the music without the fog. It reminded me how good life can feel when you’re clear‑headed and surrounded by people who get it.” - Nicky
A Festival Where Everyone Belongs
LoveHerder is a different kind of gathering ... a gentle rebellion against the idea that you need booze or drugs to feel alive. No alcohol. No pressure. No overwhelm. Just colour, music, creativity, and a community that chooses to show up fully awake.
And beyond the buzz and brightness, you’ll find quiet corners, sensory‑friendly spaces, and room to breathe. Step into the countryside, soften your shoulders, and reset at your own pace. The energy will be waiting whenever you’re ready to return.

Our Home - Birkrigg Park

Hidden within the quiet depths of the South Lake District countryside, Birkrigg Park feels like its own little world ... a gentle microcosm shaped by woodland, water, and wide‑open skies. By day, the landscape hums with energy, creativity, and connection, inviting you to wander, move, and sink into the festival’s vibrant rhythm.
As evening arrives, everything softens. The twin lakes catch the last of the light, wildflowers edge the pathways, and the night folds itself into a blanket of stars. As the sky deepens, musicians come alive and the dancing begins, filling one side of the site with joyful movement and sound.
Meanwhile, across the park, the campfire is roaring ... a warm gathering place for storytelling, acoustic music, and the kind of campfire fun that only happens when people feel safe, relaxed, and held by nature. With off‑grid camping, peaceful places to roam, and a welcoming fire to return to, Birkrigg Park becomes a space where you can feel both uplifted and deeply grounded.
