Lost Village Festival

British festival experience


Lost Village is a surreal festival experience that takes place in a secluded woodland near the village of Norton Disney, Lincolnshire, UK. Festival-goers are invited to explore an abandoned world that encompasses dilapidated buildings, old junkyards, hidden gardens and a disused airbase. The four-day event focuses on forward-thinking music, art, food, immersive theatre, comedy, talks and workshops.

History

Lost Village was founded in 2015 by Andy George, Jay Jameson, Ben Atkins, Andy Ellis and Aaron Mellor; a group of friends who wanted to create a new creatively-led festival experience.[1][2]

Location

The festival is set in a heavily wooded location near the village of Norton Disney, Lincolnshire, and includes old cabins and dilapidated buildings.[3][4] There is good public transport to the site.[1]

Activities

Lost Village is a creative project that changes and develops, year on year. The event emphasizes unpredictability, one-on-one experiences and abstract surrealism. As well as music there's comedy, talks, various types of creative workshops and lots of interactive spaces to explore.
