Hide and Seek Festival in Capesthorne Hall, tucked away in the heart of Cheshire, is not your average jostle-fest. This gem of a festival is nestled in the picturesque surroundings of Capesthorne Hall, transforming it into a secret Wonderland for a weekend every summer. Organisers have meticulously crafted an event that blends seamlessly into its surroundings, respecting the great outdoors whilst providing a stage for some of the UK's finest live and electronic music acts.
Previous headliners have included the likes of The Streets and Groove Armada, but for Hide and Seek, it's not all about the big names. The true magic lies in the unique atmosphere created by a community of fellow festival-goers who value good vibes over grazed knees. With no VIP areas, this is a festival that prides itself on bringing like-minded souls together, from all walks of life, to celebrate their shared love of music. And with a capacity of just 5,000, it's intimate, it's friendly, and it's everything a festival should be.
But Hide and Seek isn't just about the music - although let's be honest, with stages hosted by some of the UK's best party-starters like Little Festival and Church, it's a bloody good place to start! There's a whole host of entertainment to keep you enthralled throughout the weekend. Think yoga and meditation sessions to detox the mind, disco naps in the pine trees (yes, you read that right!), and a pop-up painting tent to express your creativity. And if you fancy a day off from the dance floor, Capesthorne's Lake is perfect for a leisurely swim or paddleboard in the sun. It's not just a festival, it's an experience - and one that's not to be missed.
