Hive Family Festival

With confirmed performers for the Beehive Stage, including ABBA Fever, the tribute "Sabrina Vs. Olivia" (for Sabrina Carpenter & Olivia Rodrigo), musical theatre star Nikki Bentley, singer Josh Blake, the feel-good group Got To Be POP!, and the Love Soul Choir, promising family fun without huge headliners. 

Beyond the stage, Hive Family Festival is packed with hands-on activities and experiences inspired by curiosity, creativity and play. Families can explore interactive workshops, enjoy arts and crafts, take part in games, and discover engaging activities designed to spark young imaginations. Whether it is trying something new together, meeting friendly characters around the site, or simply enjoying the freedom to roam and explore, there is something for everyone to enjoy at their own pace.

Hive is also a wonderful way to make the most of the summer holidays, offering a relaxed and welcoming environment where families can truly unwind. Parents can kick back in the sunshine, enjoy delicious food and soak up the atmosphere, while children are free to laugh, learn and play. With its boutique size and thoughtful layout, Hive maintains a friendly, community feel that sets it apart from larger festivals, making it especially appealing for families with younger children.

More than just an event, Hive Family Festival is about connection, joy and togetherness. It is about picnics on the grass, dancing without inhibition, discovering new music, and sharing moments that will be talked about long after the summer has ended. Whether you are travelling from Southampton, planning a family day out from Winchester or Portsmouth, or visiting from further afield in Hampshire or Dorset, Hive promises a feel-good festival experience like no other.
