Britain's What's On Event Guide
Campo Sancho Festival
‘The small-scale but big-energy party in the countryside’ - The Guardian
Sancho Panza’s signature festival Campo Sancho returns for its 7th edition. Set in a beautiful location, tucked away deep in the Hertfordshire countryside, only an hour from London, this is an independent, carefully curated festival of music, dancing and fun.
Joining Sancho Panza’s founders and residents, Matt Brown and Jimmy K-Tel, this year’s headline act is el maestro – Laurent Garnier – playing both a house set on Saturday night and a disco set for Sunday sunset. Alongside Sancho Panza and Laurent Garnier we welcome a plethora of talent including our Carnival compadre Norman Jay MBE, Sancho favourite Danielle Moore from Crazy P, DJ Rahaan from Chicago, Dicky Trisco b2b with JKriv, Hilit Kolet, Faith’s Terry Farley and Stuart Patterson, Lisa Loud, Tigerbalm, Rob Mello, DJ Eren, Abi Clarke, Aldo Vanucci, Si Kurrage and Mr Shiver, Andy Wilson plus all our other brilliant Sancho regulars. Expertly tuned Funktion One systems will be covering all aspects of sound for the whole weekend, we feel this is our best line up ever in over 30 year’s existence!
Campo Sancho is a celebration of great music, good people, delicious locally sourced food (extensive vegan and vegetarian offerings), craft beers and quality cocktails. There are healing treats, massage, free yoga and tai chi classes, plus talks, demonstrations and comedy at the Campo Village Hall.
This is a down-to-earth, genuine, family-friendly event with plenty to entertain all ages, from the vintage Panic Circus, Crafty Kid’s Factory, to the Teen Spirit clubhouse, plus bushcraft courses and a kids’ disco for the littlest of our Campo campers.
The festival is built on the philosophy that beauty is in the detail. It is a green and sustainable site that respects its surroundings and promotes togetherness.
Campo Sancho is a truly home-made gathering crafted with passion, love and dedication.
