Competition | Win Tickets to the ALSO Festival

Iona Bower April 10, 2024

ALSO is the award-winning festival where ideas run wild. Hailed by Condé Nast Traveller as one of the best festivals in the world, Grazia as one of the hottest in the UK and ES as one of the coolest, picked by the Guardian, Times, Sunday Times and Telegraph for their ‘best of the fests’ lists, ALSO returns resplendent for its eleventh edition with the theme Heavenly Bodies on 12-14th July and promises to be nothing short of celestial.

Set in a Capability Brown landscape in Warwickshire, the UK’s most inspirational summer festival combines ideas, music and comedy alongside adventures in food, nature and wellness.

 

ALSO24 features transformative ideas from Sunday Times bestselling psychotherapist Philippa Perry (her only UK festival appearance this summer), rock-star classicist Natalie Haynes, bringing nuance to Greek Myth and banker–turned–journalist Nels Abbey showing how hip-hop rewrote the rules of business.

 

There are genre-busting live performances from experimental musician Jessica Winter (‘The new face of outsider pop’ - Line of Best Fit), indie-folk sonic adventurers Stornoway and Latin brass collective The Fontanas, bringing the party to Saturday night. 

ALSO24 headlines comedy performances from BAFTA-winning, best-selling writer and comedian Adam Kay, acclaimed comedian and best-selling writer Sara Pascoe (QI, Taskmaster, Live at the Apollo) and gallic misanthrope (and TikTok sensation) Marcel Lucont presenting his cult hit Cabaret Fantastique.

What to expect? Eccentric, playful, thought-provoking programming across 15 venues designed to get ideas into your head. From life-enhancing talks and big bands to long table dinners, tastings and demos. Creative masterclasses and inspirational workshops by day, comedy and eclectic electronica by night. Enjoy a rum and a dance at the Rum Shack, or take to the water for a sunset swim and lakeside sauna. Curate your own adventure.

Two lucky readers can win either a family weekend ticket or a pair of adult weekend tickets
each worth £300.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
