A family-friendly festival that attracts 20,000 visitors each year is returning to its original location at the heart of Nottinghamshire for 2025.
Gloworm Festival will be returning to Thoresby Park for 2025 from August 8-10, 2025 and promises to deliver an unforgettable weekend brimming with entertainment, activities and magic for families with young children.
The legendary Paul Chuckle will be kicking off Friday’s entertainment with an epic DJ set exclusively for campers, glampers and park and pitch Glowormers.
On Saturday, The Killerz, the world’s leading tribute to The Killers, will deliver an electrifying performance guaranteed to leave audiences smiling like they mean it.
Sunday’s headliners include Arctic Roll, performing hits by the Arctic Monkeys, alongside the iconic Dene Michael of Black Lace, who will have everyone singing and dancing along to timeless classics.
Other unmissable acts include Rozalla, whose iconic tunes will set the stage alight, and Do It Like Dua, a phenomenal tribute to Dua Lipa, bringing energy and charisma to the festival.
Beloved characters Zippy & George and Bodger and Badger will also be doing meet-and-greets throughout the weekend, providing moments of nostalgia and joy for attendees of all ages.
CBeebies favourites Justin Fletcher and Andy and the Odd Socks are sure to be popular with all attendees, while the West End Kids will showcase their talents with a fantastic performance.
The organisers have announced they have taken the decision to reduce the price of the family tickets to £450 (down from £540) to keep the festival as affordable to as many families as possible. This price will be frozen for the 2025 edition.
Festival director Richard Walpole said: “Our mission is to make Gloworm Festival accessible to as many families as possible, ensuring that no one has to miss out on the joy and excitement our festival offers. By lowering the price of family tickets, we hope to alleviate some of the financial burden and make it easier for parents and children to come together and enjoy a weekend full of fun, creativity, and connection.
Playmobil, the renowned global toy brand, is proud to sponsor the Gloworm Festival for the seventh consecutive year. Their immersive Play Zone and iconic Rave continue to be festival highlights, inspiring creativity and allowing children and parents to immerse themselves in a world of fun, interactive play, and explore the latest Playmobil toys.
