September 4/5, 2026
A tiny and incomparably friendly festival of music, comedy and lovely people set in a magical woodland in deepest Sussex
2026 Line up
Hailing from down the coast in Hastings, Buddha Triangle will rock the woods with their blend of electronica, jazz, rock and hip hop, providing us with their social commentary, delivered through thought-provoking stories of our modern world with care, awareness and humour.
Rossana is known for her innovative, genre-blending sound drawing on her classical roots and fusing jazz, psy-rock, Latin, folk, and electronic influences. Her singing is truely beautiful and mesmeric; it will sound incredible among the trees as they darken in the twilight
Indie folk trio Good Habits have been lauded by the music press, with 6 Music's Tom Robinson describing them as 'musicianship at its 21st century best'. With their blend of folk-ish storytelling, groove-driven energy and existential hope, we are thrilled to have them playing in the woods.
We're very excited to welcome Rozsa, who with here electric harp will weave hypnotic hip-hop, neo-soul, and jazz. We saw her play at Good Vibrations festival last year and we were spell-bound throughout her entire set. You're in for a treat!
One of the nation's best loved contemporary poets, Guillemot-loving and Luton bungalow-inhabiting John Hegley returns to Jimfest to perform his lyrically ingenious and very funny songs. At past festivals he's been a hit with adults and children alike, and his warmth and wit have always left us delighted.
For the third year running, we are delighted to welcome back the legendary landline 1010, who'll perform one of his leg-twisting, booty-busting, hip-shaking sets for us once the headliners have left the stage. He ran rave sound systems back in the day, has had his own tracks played by Carl Cox, and is just an all-round excellent DJ. Expect hard breaks, big beats, jaw-dropping mash-ups, and a messy dance floor...
Wishworks have been with us ever since the beginning and they're back this year with their warm-hearted, playful and hilarious puppetry to keep you and your young ones entertained on Sunday morning
