WE'VE MADE THE SHORTLIST!

We're absolutely thrilled to announce that Compton Festival has been shortlisted for Micro Festival of the Year at the UK Festival Awards 2026!

When we first started Compton Festival, we simply wanted to bring great music, entertainment and people together in a beautiful setting. To now find ourselves shortlisted for a national award alongside some much bigger, more established festivals is pretty amazing!

But we need your help to go one step further!

The winner is decided by public vote, so if you've enjoyed Compton Festival, we'd love you to vote for us.
