What an incredible start to our festival season! As we reflect on the month of May, we're overwhelmed with gratitude for the amazing experiences we've been part of alongside our festival partners. From country music celebrations to culinary adventures and eclectic music gatherings, The Canvas Co. has had the privilege of providing boutique glamping accommodation at three spectacular events that truly showcased the best of British festival culture.
Shindig Festival at Charlton Park: "Best Shindig Yet!"
The energy at Shindig Festival 2025 was absolutely electric from the moment the gates opened. Set against the stunning backdrop of Charlton Park, festival-goers were treated to an incredible weekend that had everyone declaring it the "best Shindig yet!" The atmosphere was magical from day one, with the Shindig family arriving to vibes that were already incredible.
Sunday's final day lineup was nothing short of spectacular, featuring powerhouse acts like DUB FX, Ibibio Sound Machine, Coco Maria, Altern 8, Dan Shake and K.O.G. But Shindig wasn't just about the music – the packed programme of activities for kids of all ages made it a true family celebration. Our glamping guests had front-row seats to all the magic, waking up each morning in the heart of the festival buzz and falling asleep to the distant sounds of celebration.
The triumph of Shindig 2025 has everyone already buzzing for next year, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have been part of such an unforgettable weekend.
Buckle & Boots: the country festival everyone's talking about
May Bank Holiday also took us to Whitebottom Farm for what can only be described as the biggest country party of the year. Buckle & Boots delivered on its promise of being "the Country Festival that everyone's talking about," and our guests were perfectly positioned to kick off each day in style.
Four days, two stages and 39 incredible artists created the ultimate country music experience. From the opening day's incredible music and dancing to the packed weekend of live country artists, after parties and songwriter rounds, the atmosphere never stopped building. Our glampers enjoyed the luxury of stepping out of their boutique accommodation straight into golden-hour vibes, with cold Hawkstone on tap and gourmet food just steps away.
The combination of world-class country music and our comfortable accommodation meant our guests could dance the night away knowing they had a cosy retreat waiting for them – the perfect way to experience such an unforgettable weekend.
Fields to Fork Festival: a celebration of British food and farming
Our month of May reached a delicious crescendo at Fields to Fork Festival, where world-class chefs, inspiring conversations and a genuine celebration of British farming came together for something truly special. This wasn't just a festival – it was a journey through the very best of British food culture.
The sight of delicious steaks being cooked live on fire by top chefs, paired with the sound of live music echoing through the countryside, created an atmosphere that perfectly captured the essence of British countryside festival farm vibes. Our glamping guests found themselves at the heart of this celebration, able to enjoy every drop of Hawkstone on tap and soak up the sunshine while surrounded by the rolling countryside.
What made Fields to Fork 2025 particularly special was how it brought friends and families together over shared meals and experiences. Our boutique accommodation provided the perfect base for groups to gather, plan their culinary adventures, and reflect on the day's inspiring conversations about British farming and food culture.
Looking Forward
These three festivals – each unique in character but united by their celebration of British culture, music and community – have shown us exactly why we're passionate about what we do. Providing boutique glamping accommodation isn't just about comfortable beds and stylish interiors; it's about being part of the stories that festival-goers will tell for years to come.
From the magical mornings at Charlton Park to the golden hours at Whitebottom Farm and the countryside conversations that echoed through Fields to Fork, The Canvas Co. has been honoured to provide a home away from home for festival enthusiasts seeking that perfect blend of adventure and comfort.
If there's one thing these three festivals have cemented with us, it's that the best experiences happen when great music, amazing food, beautiful locations and comfortable accommodation come together – and that's exactly what The Canvas Co. is all about.
