    The festival follows a bend in the River Loom. Hover over or focus on a stage to light up its sets in the schedule, and select it to filter the schedule to that stage.

    Plan of the Loomwater Festival site The River Loom curves through the site from the north-west to the south-east. The entrance is in the south-west. The Main Stage sits in the centre, River Tent on the eastern riverbank and Lantern Field in the north. Willowbank Campsite is in the west, food traders are between the entrance and the Main Stage, and toilets are beside the campsite, the Main Stage and Lantern Field.

    FAQ

    Good questions, straight answers

    How do I get to Carrow Vale?

    Carrow Vale station is a twelve-minute walk from the entrance along the towpath, and we run free shuttle buses from the station forecourt every fifteen minutes from 10:00 until an hour after the last set. Car parking is in Orchard Meadow, signposted from the Vale Road; it costs £10 a day and must be booked in advance.

    Can children come to Loomwater?

    Absolutely. Under-16s need their own ticket and must be with an adult aged 18 or over at all times. Children under five come free and don't need a ticket. Lantern Field has a quiet family area with craft workshops each morning.

    What happens if it rains?

    The music carries on. River Tent is fully covered and Lantern Field has a canopied bandstand. Bring waterproofs and sturdy boots; the meadows can get soft after a downpour. We only stop a set if the stewards judge the weather to be unsafe.

    Is the site accessible?

    Yes. Firm trackway runs between every stage, the entrance and the campsite, each stage has a raised viewing platform, and accessible toilets sit in every toilet block. Carers attend free with a valid ticket holder; email us before 1 June 2027 and we'll sort out the details.

    Can I bring my own food and drink?

    You're welcome to bring your own food and soft drinks in plastic bottles. Glass isn't allowed anywhere on site. Campers may bring a reasonable amount of alcohol for personal use in the campsite, but not into the arenas.

    Can I get a refund or transfer my ticket?

    Tickets can be transferred to a friend for free until 30 June 2027 through your account. Refunds are available within fourteen days of purchase, or in full if the festival is cancelled.

    What does a Loomwater Friends membership include?

    Friends get 10% off every ticket order, early entry to the campsite on Friday afternoon and a vote on one act for the following year's Lantern Field line-up. Membership is free for anyone who has volunteered with us.
