Dewslake Farm Camping & Glamping has announced the full line-up for the Growing Wild Family Festival 2026, its end-of-season celebration of music, craft and the great outdoors, returning to the farm on Saturday 5th September 2026, with a warm-up evening on the Friday and a gentle wind-down on the Sunday.

Now an established fixture on the Pembrokeshire events calendar, Growing Wild brings together live music, hands-on workshops and family-friendly activities set against the backdrop of Dewslake’s working farmland. Visitors can camp or glamp for the full weekend, or pick up a day ticket for Saturday’s main festival programme.

A Weekend in Three Acts

Friday – The Warm-Up: Campers arrive and pitch up as the site eases into festival mode, with live music and pizzas from The Rowan Tree Café.

Saturday – The Main Event: The full festival programme runs 10am to 10pm, packed with live performances, workshops and activities for all ages.

Sunday – The Wind-Down: A slower morning of yoga and live music sends everyone home tired, happy and a little bit muddy.

This Year’s Line-Up

The 2026 bill features Forest Friends Theatre, Flossy & Boo, The Monarch, Coron Moron, Fox & Hound, Llewellin Duo, Indigo Rose, Iestyn Gordon, The Swingin’ Nettle, Bayou Boys, Twpsyn Pembrokeshire, Pembrokeshire Fire Spinners and Ecstatic Caravan, alongside workshops in bushcraft, flower crown making, beeswax wraps and drumming, plus yoga, face painting and talks throughout the weekend.

Built for the Whole Family

Growing Wild has built a reputation as a genuinely multi-generational day out. While the programme is designed with children front and centre, it’s just as loved by parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles — making it an easy choice for extended family groups in search of a shared day, or weekend, out. The site is also ASD and ADHD friendly, with plenty of open space to retreat to and a relaxed, manageable pace that works well for many neurodiverse visitors and their families.

“We danced, sang, laughed and connected last year — and were rewarded with sunshine and so much joy, even after a bit of stormy weather!” said Elly, owner of Dewslake Farm Camping & Glamping. “Growing Wild is all about family, friends and the great outdoors; it’s about community, connection and good times, and our visitors really bring it. We’re already overflowing with excitement for this year’s line-up.”
