Don’t bury your tent in the back of your cupboard just yet. The music may have stopped at this year’s Together Again Festival, but they are already looking ahead to next summer, with second release tickets now available for 2026. Better get out your calendar and save the date, as the vibrant family-friendly festival is giving you something to look forward to, returning to the emerald expanse of Cheshire’s Bolesworth Castle from July 24 to 26. Located approximately an hour and 15 minutes from Manchester, this is an ideal weekend getaway.
Be sure to round up your friends, dust off your dance moves early and start teaching your kids the sacred ways of the festival goer, as it’ll be here before you know it, with an unmissable lineup of musicians, hilarious comedy and cabaret acts, fairground rides, kid-friendly activities and all-around good times to look forward to.
What can I expect at Together Again Festival?
This festival does what it says on the tin – brings people together – with a weekend of music, culture and, well, camping. It is a sister festival to the UK’s largest family-friendly festival ‘In It Together’, following in its vibrant footsteps with a fun-loving celebration of the arts and a sense of community. Still fresh on the festival scene, Together Again made its dazzling debut in Cheshire in the summer of 2025.
There’s something for everyone. Once you step foot through the gates you’ll no doubt be drawn to one of the stages like a moth to a flame; dance music fans can find kindred spirits in the Agora tent and country music obsessives can kick up their heels in The Ranch, while wistful nostalgics can take a trip down memory lane in the Rewind arena and everyone can come together at the, well, Together Stage. The festival has already featured the likes of Olly Murs, Cat Burns, Dizzee Rascal, Scouting For Girls and disco legends Sister Sledge, so, while next year’s headliners are still a mystery, you are sure to be in for a treat.
In between singing your heart out and busting moves you can explore the many other delights of the festival. There’s comedy, cabaret and karaoke on the Wonky Lizard stage, fairground rides galore, an outdoor cinema…basically no shortage of entertainment.
What can families get up to?
A better question might be what can’t families get up to. Together Again Festival takes the term ‘family-friendly’ very seriously, with a designated Tic Tac Toe area which is crammed full of over 50 free activities for all the family. This includes a climbing wall, circus skills workshops, chaotic science experiments, bingo, singalongs, a family quiz. The list goes on and on. You can pretty much rest assured there’s no risk of kids getting bored.
Is there camping?
The short answer is yes. The long-ish answer is, still yes, camping is part of the Together Again experience and there’s plenty of options to suit all preferences. You can choose between general camping, boutique camping, family-friendly camping, or if you’re rocking up in a campervan, a motorhome pitch.
What tickets are available?
You can now snap up Second Release tickets for Together Again Festival 2026. There are standard weekend tickets or weekend camping tickets available now, with family options if you’re looking to bring along the kids.
