Coleford Music Festival - DATE TBC

The Coleford Music Festival is taking a break in 2026 but plans to return in 2027, with the next event currently scheduled for July 10-11, 2027, as a free, multi-stage event in Coleford town centre, featuring local music, arts, and community elements.

Coleford Music Festival is one of the most loved free music events in the Forest of Dean, bringing the streets of Coleford alive each summer with two days of live music, arts and entertainment.

The festival takes over the whole town, with multiple outdoor stages and venues showcasing a fantastic line-up of local, regional and national acts. Expect a wide range of music, from rock, reggae and blues to folk, ska and acoustic. It’s a brilliant weekend for families, music lovers and anyone looking for a great atmosphere and community spirit.

Alongside the live performances, there are creative workshops, street performers, market stalls and plenty of great food and drink on offer. The event is completely free to attend and has become a highlight of the summer calendar for both locals and visitors.

It’s easy to access by public transport and is a short walk from local car parks.
