    Description

    Lying at the heart of Northamptonshire in England is Shambala Festival, integral to the UK festival scene since 2000. This four-day extravaganza has come to welcome 15,000 enthusiastic attendees per year in its shows, where tickets are flying off the racks like clockwork. It is, in part, this that gives it such shine: Shambala keeps the exact location secret until the tickets are purchased, injecting a sort of adventure and anticipation into the experience.

    A Musical Wonderland
    At its most basic, Shambala is a music festival, as eclectic as the lineup possibly gets, veering from rock and pop to folk and world music. Its appeal, however, stretches far from the auditory. Music fans who come can immerse themselves in a gamut of activities running the spectrum from independent films, workshops, talks, comedy acts, and debates, among others. A marketplace chock-full of organic, fair-trade goods colors the vibrancy of this eclectic festival.

    Championing Sustainability
    While the word sustainability has become a buzzword, at Shambala, it's a guiding philosophy-from practical demonstrations and site art installations to a speakers' corner, the inclusion of eco-friendly initiatives at this festival is broad. The grounds themselves become an immersive experience in art: an inspiring art trail with interactive sculptures incites creativity and introspection.

    But perhaps the most captivating element of Shambala is its basis of being "music with a mission." UK permaculturists bring the festival grounds into life by building a garden and workshop space in which art, crafts, and sound come together to pay homage to cultural awareness, environmental responsibility, and human rights. This mission extends even to the youngest attendees of the festival when they are encouraged to add their messages to the Rights Tree as a powerful amplification of youth.

    Family-Friendly Fun
    From shadow dancing and trampolines to circus skills, games, and music, Shambala's family-friendly programming assures even the youngest of attendees will be just as entertained as will their elders. But the real highlight has got to be Sunday's samba procession, bringing rhythm, colour, and community spirit to the festival in bucketloads.

    Creative Expression
    But that is not all: adding to the vibrancy of the festival, the attendees embrace Shambala's annual theme with elaborate costumes, making the festival of creative expression. This playful tradition lends itself to a sense of camaraderie, making Shambala at least as much a celebration of individuality as it is a communal gathering.

    With its eclectic mix of music, art, sustainability, and family-friendly fun, Shambala keeps the hearts and minds of its audiences enchanted, year after year, and is a staple for thousands more.
