Bearded Theory Festival

Bearded Theory is a multi-award winning creative and performing arts festival set in the beautiful grounds of Catton Hall in the heart of the National Forest. The festival borders 3 counties of West Midlands, South Derbyshire and Staffordshire and only 2 hours away for 50% of the UKs population. In 2016 we won "UK’s Best Family Festival" award at the UK Festival Awards, 20

14 we won “Promoter of the Year” award at the UK Festival Awards in London and Festival Kidz “Silver Award”. In 2013, after being shortlisted for many years, we finally won “Best Small Festival” at the UK Festival Awards and a Festival Kidz “Gold Award”. Over the years we have also been shortlisted for many awards including Best Family Festival, Best Grassroots, and Best Toilets. We have been recognised in the National press as being one of the best festivals of the summer in various articles in the Guardian, Express, Sun, Independent, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 1, Channel 4, BBC Entertainment and the Mirror. We have an award winning free Children’s Village along with an award winning bar selling real ales, lagers and ciders at pub tariffs. In addition we are one of the very few festivals that allow you to bring your own drink into our arenas.

It was a dream, but for a moment it was real... we’re not ready to wake up from it yet, and we’re sure you’re not either ✨🌙

But, while we reminisce we’d also like to reflect, and that means it’s time for our Bearded Theory 2026 Survey.

Please take some time to fill out the survey to let us know what you thought about this year’s event, and tell us what you’d like to see at Bearded Theory 2027.

We’re giving one lucky respondent the opportunity to win tickets for next year’s festival, but more importantly this is the best way to have your voice heard and help shape Bearded Theory as we look towards the future 🌟
