🎶 Ampthill Big Tent Weekend 2026
Time: 18:00 - 22:30
✨️ EVENT DETAILS
The Big Tent Weekend enables us to bring together our schools, community and local musicians in a celebration of music and culture. The event is hosted in the heart of our town on the Alameda School field, in sight of our heritage park and just a stone's throw from the Town centre. We will offer affordable live music events which centre around our homegrown talent across all age groups. Nothing fancy, just a back-to-basic, family orientated experience.
To minimise the impact of our unpredictable British weather, our stage will be under a massive Big Top Tent, which can house 1000 seated and 3000 standing. What ever the british summer might throw at us, the party will go on.
We are passionate about sustainability and will focus on pollution control, reducing and recycling waste, promote local food sourcing, supporting local businesses and will have activities design to educate the community.
