We may still be deep in GlastHOMEbury season, but donât worry⌠there are no violins or sad tents here. The world has thrown us a chaotic year (or twoâŚ), full of cancellations, rearranged plans, and more uncertainty than we ever asked for, but festivals? Festivals are pure magic. And luckily, there are still some incredible ones going ahead this year.
So letâs release all that lingering 2020 TENTsion, shake off the cobwebs, dust off the wellies and sprinkle ourselves in glitter, because friends⌠itâs time to feel alive again. đâ¨
Some events may have been cancelled, others postponed, but a surprising number of brilliant UK festivals are still happening. And honestly? We deserve every last bit of dancing-in-a-field joy.
Here are five of the top festivals you can still catch before 2021 slips away - plus our jewellery style picks for each one. Because no outfit is complete without a little sparkle.
Â
- Camp Bestival
29th July â 1st August 2021 | Lulworth Castle, Dorset
Need to fill your festival fix as a family? Woah, that was a lot of F's, then Camp Bestival is your golden ticket. Itâs not crowned Best Family Festival for nothing. Think colourful parades, creative workshops, circus fun, eclectic music, and a wholesome-but-wild atmosphere that somehow feels both nostalgic and brand new.
And letâs be honestâŚ
Mr Tumble is going to be there.
Do we even need to say more? đ
The grounds of Lulworth Castle make it feel like something straight out of a storybook â rolling hills, beautiful woodland, enough open space to breathe again. Itâs the perfect place to let loose while keeping the kids happy.
Our style tip:
Go absolutely wild with colour. đ
Layer bright bracelets, stack festival-inspired beaded pieces, and embrace the rainbow. This is the one event where more is more, think maximum fun, maximum sparkle, maximum feel-good energy.
- Boardmasters
11th â 15th August 2021 | Cornwall
Music. Surfing. Clifftop sunsets. The salty Cornish breeze. Honestly⌠who needs a holiday abroad when Boardmasters exists?
After two years off, this beloved festival returns with an energy thatâs been bottled up for far too long. Spread across the coastline with incredible beach stages and iconic surf competitions, Boardmasters is a festival that feeds your soul. Thereâs something about dancing by the sea that just hits differently.
If youâre craving laid-back vibes, sandy toes, kombucha in hand and music drifting through the air, this is the one.
Our style tip:
Lean fully into the coastal palette: blues, whites, silvers, pearls, and anything that feels fresh and ocean-inspired. đ
Think layered anklets, shell motifs, breezy beach bracelets and calming gemstone pieces that catch the sunlight beautifully.
- Reading & Leeds
27th â 29th August 2021 | Reading & Leeds
The legendary duo. Reading & Leeds are still standing strong and delivering the mix of acts theyâre famous for, from rap to rock to indie to everything in between. Itâs the perfect August Bank Holiday escape if you love variety and want to see huge names back on stage.
This yearâs lineup?
Stormzy.
Post Malone.
Liam Gallagher.
Need we say more?
Itâs the kind of festival where you go hard, dress bold, and live out your full alternative-rockstar fantasy.
Our style tip:
Go with sharper, edgier styling, blacks, golds, metallic tones, layered chains, statement earrings and bold textures.
Bring your âI could headline if I wanted toâ energy. đ
- Wireless Festival
10th â 12th September 2021 | London
Luckily, 2021 wonât be WireLESS đ¤Ş
This iconic festival is the biggest showcase for hip-hop, rap, R&B and grime in the UK, and it always brings the energy. The atmosphere is unreal, the fashion is top-tier, and the performances go off.
Wireless is the place to turn up the heat on your style, playful, confident, bold, stacked, layered, and expressive.
Our style tip:
Go all in on stacking.
Necklaces? Yes.
Bracelets? Absolutely.
Earrings? More.
Rings? Obviously.
This is the festival for full glam, full shine, full personality.
- Isle of Wight Festival
16th â 19th September 2021 | Isle of Wight
Ahh⌠the UKâs most famous rock and pop festival. A true icon. The Isle of Wight Festival has been around longer than most of us, and its return really does feel like a comforting moment of âoh, weâre backâŚâ.
This year brings huge names like Liam Gallagher, Snow Patrol, David Guetta and Duran Duran, a glorious mix of eras, vibes and feel-good energy. Itâs a little bit retro, a little bit modern, a lot magical.
And the setting? Pure summer romance. Ferries, sunsets, seaside air, and unforgettable nights under the sky.
Our style tip:
Go for nostalgic festival glamour, boho textures, warm metallics, layered necklaces, and gemstones that reflect the light. Think carefree, dreamy, whimsical.
P.s. Can anyone else feel the glitter in your hair already? Ahhh⌠bliss.
