Following a sold-out event in 2024, Yorkshire’s much-loved adventure attraction William’s Den is bringing back its popular family festival this summer. Now rebranded as Den Fest, the four-day celebration of music, food and outdoor fun will take place from Friday 18th to Monday 21st July 2025.
Formerly known as The Big Camp Out, Den Fest has been designed with the whole family in mind. Visitors can choose to attend for the day or book a weekend camping pass to enjoy the full experience.
Headline acts this year include tribute performances from Taylor Reloaded on Saturday and Harry Styled on Sunday, bringing the energy of Taylor Swift and Harry Styles to the Den Fest stage. They’ll be joined by live sets from Stu Steels, Joe Hodgeson, Bandanarama and DJ Frankie.
But Den Fest isn’t just about the music. The 2025 line-up is full of new attractions and hands-on experiences for children and adults alike. These include:
- A traditional fairground, complete with a towering 35ft Helter Skelter, Swinging Boats and Bungee Trampolines
- A Petting Farm Zone with alpacas and Baby Goat Yoga
- A Nerf Blaster Zone, offering fast-paced fun for all ages
- Archery sessions, including soft archery for younger visitors
- Bushcraft workshops, from wild cooking to nature crafts and campfire sing-alongs
- Live Circus and Aerial Shows, with circus skills sessions and photoshoots
- Samba drumming and Boomwhacker music workshops
- Two bouncy inflatables, one for younger children and another for older ones
- The return of the Mini Olympics and family game shows
- A daily Hand Puppet Show, face painting, glitter stations and more
There’s also a strong focus on food, with options ranging from fresh pizza and street food to homemade ice cream and artisan coffee. Outdoor bars will be open throughout the weekend.
Tickets are available now, with day passes starting from £29.95 per person and full weekend camping tickets at £75 per person. Booking in advance is recommended to get the best rates and secure a spot.
Tor Carver, Co-Founder of William’s Den, said:
“Den Fest is one of the highlights of our year at William’s Den. Families come together to enjoy amazing live music, great food and endless indoor and outdoor fun. Last year’s event sold out, so we’ve pulled out all the stops for 2025 with even more incredible activities and performers. Get your tickets before they’re gone!”
