Shambala Festival

The daily capacity of the festival is 15,000 people and although the exact location is not disclosed until attendees buy a ticket, the event has frequently been held at Kelmarsh Hall in Northamptonshire.

There are also independent films, workshops, talks and debates, comedy, a fresh organic market, fair trade coffee, practical demonstrations, a speakers' corner, site art (a new art trail and a range of get-involved sculpture) and "music with a mission".

Permaculturists from across the UK create a welcoming garden/ workshop space incorporating art, crafts and sounds.

Kids' activities include a full and diverse program of activities for all ages, such as creative workshops (e.g. shadow dancing), trampolines, circus fun, games, music, and a samba procession on Sunday.
