Thank you Alston! 🧡🎪🎶

Wow...what a weekend! It's hard to put into words, but one thing is for sure: we couldn't have asked for a better festival. From start to finish, the site was filled with great quality music, laughter and good vibes. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

We would like to say a very special thanks to all the volunteers - we simply couldn't have done it without you. You are the beating heart of this festival, and you are all amazing!

As the 2026 season comes to a close, we turn our heads to next year and the next adventure! It might have only just finished, but we can't wait to be back with all of you. Keep your eyes peeled.

See you in 2027!

What an incredible way to open Alston Live 2026! ⚔️🛶
A huge thank you to the amazing volunteers at Alston Community Workshop Men's Shed, whose craftsmanship, creativity and countless hours of hard work brought our spectacular Viking longship to life. It's been a fantastic collaboration and we're proud to have worked together on something so special!

The Biking Vikings North East gave the ship the grand entrance it deserved, and we're thrilled to say that it will now continue its journey with them as they raise money for Brain Tumour Research.

This is what Alston Live is all about: creativity, collaboration, and community. Thank you to Alston Men's Shed, the Biking Vikings, and everyone who helped make the invasion such an unforgettable moment! 🧡
