Lost Village festival overview
Lost Village festival is a four-day music and arts weekender in private woodland near Norton Disney, Lincolnshire. Lost Ventures Limited runs it. Instead of a standard arena field, the organisers dress the site as a forgotten forest village, with derelict buildings, junkyards and woodland paths.
Days start early here. From 9am you can catch talks, workshops, wellness sessions and the restaurants. Comedy and music then kick off around midday. Headliners finish before 11pm, and most stages wrap up by 1am or 2am. After that, a few smaller bars stay open until 3am.
Away from the decks, there’s Lost Theatre comedy, the Institute of Curious Minds, the Energy Garden and creative workshops. The food line-up is strong too. Your ticket also covers general camping, while Boutique Sanctuary and pre-pitched tents sit in quieter corners of the site.

Getting there and the site
The woodland sits roughly halfway between Newark and Lincoln, just off the A46. Put LN6 9HN in your sat-nav, then follow the Lost Village signs. If you’re coming by taxi, ask the driver for the main gate or the Boutique Sanctuary drop-off.
Trains
Newark Northgate is the nearest station. From there, National Express runs a subsidised shuttle that takes around 15 to 25 minutes. Boutique guests should look for the Boutique-marked bus at the station. Newark Castle, Lincoln and Grantham don’t get an official shuttle.
The festival hasn’t published 2027 shuttle days and hours yet, so check the official getting here page closer to August.
Coaches
National Express is the official coach partner. It runs direct returns from London Victoria, Dartford, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bath, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham, Cambridge, Leicester, Loughborough, Brighton, Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Gloucester and Cheltenham. Prices start from £47 return.
Parking
Drivers need a Kaboodle car park pass, bought in advance, for each vehicle. The car park opens at 9am on Thursday 26 August 2027. From there, it’s about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the entrance.
Campsites and places to stay
General camping comes with every ticket. On top of that, you can upgrade to Sustainable Pre-Pitched or Boutique Sanctuary. Campervans aren’t available any more. If you’d rather stay off-site, Lincoln, Newark (about 15 minutes away) and Grantham (about 20 minutes) are the easiest bases.
