About the festival

A small and magical family festival,
made with care

Wildlings Festival is a gathering of music, creativity and outdoor adventure for children and their grown-ups, set at Radford Mill, a beautiful working organic farm between Bristol and Bath.

Across the weekend, there’ll be music, singing, stories, making, dancing, nature discovery, fire-lit evenings under the trees, and almost certainly a few grass-stained knees. Expect brilliant live performances, joyful early-years music, roaming brass, creative workshops, farm walks, outdoor play, good food, and plenty of space for children to wander, explore and be themselves.

Wildlings is deliberately small. With fewer than 500 people on site, it is designed to feel friendly, spacious and personal - a proper little festival, but with the warmth of a gathering of friends.

Radford Mill Farm, Somerset - the heart of Wildlings Festival

The festival was founded by musicians Maya Bovill and Sam Slater in 2025. Maya specialises in early-years music and creative work with young children, while Sam programmes and produces music for communities, families, venues and festivals across the UK. Together, they are shaping a festival built around music, nature, imagination and care - with children treated as curious listeners, makers and participants, not just an audience to be entertained.

Set beside the Cam Brook, under the shelter of Radford Mill’s ancient trees, Wildlings is for curious children, music-loving grown-ups, and families who want something a little more human than a big commercial festival weekend.
