A small festival with children, music and nature at its heart

Wildlings is a small family festival on a working organic farm between Bristol and Bath. There’ll be music, making, dancing, stories, outdoor play, good food, fire-lit evenings, and almost certainly a few grass-stained knees.

It grew out of a simple feeling: children deserve festivals that are imaginative, welcoming and properly alive - and grown-ups deserve to enjoy them too.

The idea is to make something small enough to feel safe, but full of things to discover. Somewhere children can roam, make, sing, dance, listen, explore and get stuck into things - without families being swallowed up by a huge site, or rushed from one activity to the next.

Radford Mill Farm gives Wildlings much of its character: fields, trees, flowing water, farm walks, quiet corners and enough open space for the weekend to breathe. With fewer than 500 people on site, performances feel close, the atmosphere stays friendly, and there’s room for families to settle in and let the day unfold.

The programme brings together brilliant live music, early-years creativity, outdoor play, farm walks, stories, workshops, good food and fire-lit evenings under the trees. It is all shaped with care by people who love music, nature, children, and the slightly unpredictable joy that happens when you put them all together.
