Hello!

Just a short note to let you know Festinho will be back at Kentwell Hall, in Long Melford near Sudbury this summer.  On the first weekend of September to be precise.  For anyone that doesn’t know what i’m on about…..

Festinho is that perfect little festival that you don’t want to tell everyone about – because you want to keep it to yourself…

An intimate, friendly festival in a magical setting – the grounds of Kentwell Hall in Suffolk – Festinho is a delicious cocktail of eclectic music, sunny Brazilian vibes, a laid-back feel and the extra feelgood factor of being 100% for charity. All profits go to the ABC trust, which helps Brazilian street kids.

You’ll find the cream of up-and-coming talent alongside more famous names across all musical genres, as well as art spaces, film screenings and plenty of Brazilian flavour with capoeira, samba and percussion workshops and demos. If that all gets a bit tiring, grab a perfect caipirinha from the cocktail bar and kick back in a hammock, or bliss out to a massage in the Body and Soul space. When night falls, get lost in the mirrorballs and light installations of the Feel Good Woods – you’ll find the Disco Shed hidden in a glade, keeping the shedonists dancing all night long. Or just cosy up by the campfire and get some tasty locally-sourced food from the BBQ. 

Festinho is family-friendly too, with a play area to keep the small people entertained, high quality camping and plenty of good toilets and hot showers.  A quirky, charming alternative to the festival mammoths, Festinho is living proof that small is very beautiful.

I’ll swing by here again if you have any questions, but in the meantime…..
