Linslade Canal Festival returns this year for another unforgettable celebration of countryside charm, heritage crafts and stunning canal boats.

🎶 Music & Entertainment
The festival’s main stage will feature live performances from Wayland Smithy, the Andy Smythe Band and the lively Brass Junkies. Roaming entertainers Andrew and Edmund (A & E) will bring spontaneous musical fun throughout the poplars area.

On the acoustic stage in Peace Meadow, enjoy intimate sets from Abbie Gathard, Rising & Open Voices, and the joyful Ukietoones adding to the warm, communal atmosphere.

Children and adults alike can engage in a variety of workshops, including nature-based learning with forest schools and captivating storytelling sessions. A traditional children’s funfair adds a delightful vintage touch to the day’s excitement.
