The 2026 map has landed – and there’s plenty to discover across The Long Road this August Bank Holiday.

While you’ll find plenty of familiar favourites in all their usual glory, we’ve made a few changes, added some exciting new elements and created even more reasons to explore every corner of the festival.

New for 2026

New this year is Red Dog Saloon, bringing its legendary BBQ to The Long Road with a brand-new on-site restaurant. Expect proper American BBQ, big flavours and plenty to get stuck into.

We’re also welcoming some exciting new partners, including Smoke & Fire, with BBQ tastings and experiences you can get involved in.

Bringing the whole family? Mortimer Nannies are joining us too, offering a professional nanny service so parents can enjoy a little more time to themselves while the kids are well looked after.

Find Your Favourite Stages

Some of your favourite stages have found new homes for 2026. The Showground and The Hitching Post have both moved to new locations, but the music, atmosphere and much-loved programming remain exactly where they belong.

And if you’re heading to the Lucky Dice Car & Bike Show, getting there is now easier than ever, thanks to a brand-new pontoon providing a new route into the area.

Old faves, new discoveries

There’s still plenty of the good stuff you know and love. Test your nerve at axe throwing, get some fresh ink at the tattoo parlour, or try line dancing at one of our stages.

And this year, there’s a whole new place to explore: Main Street. Packed with great retail, independent traders and plenty of things you’ll want to take home, it’s the perfect spot to pick up something special – whether you’re looking for western wear, vintage finds, jewellery, boots, gifts or something completely unexpected.

So grab your bearings, find your stages and start planning your route.
