If you’re looking for a festival that feels like a secret party in the woods, Stowaway Festival is calling your name. Tucked away in the ancient woodlands of Stowe, Buckinghamshire, this is a defiantly independent weekend built by friends, for friends.
At Tickets for Good, we are so excited to announce that we are launching an exclusive ticket ballot with Stowaway for their 2026 edition. Whether you’re a true raver who’s been around since the 90s or a little raver attending their very first festival, this is the one to put in your calendar!
Founded in 2022, Stowaway has rapidly become one of the UK’s most prized independent festivals. It was born from a group of friends with a love for music festivals, looking for an escape. It has since evolved into a musical and natural haven.
Founded in 2022, Stowaway has quickly carved out its place as one of the UK’s most exciting independent festivals. Dreamed up by a group of friends chasing that perfect festival feeling, it’s grown into a vibrant playground of music, nature and connection.
Now entering its 5th birthday edition, Stowaway is a call to those who want to step out of the "normal" contours of life and into the splendour of the British countryside. It is an immersive weekend designed to be a social and natural retreat - a place to discover secret DJ sets in the trees rather than just following a schedule.
Now stepping into its 5th birthday edition, Stowaway is your invitation to slip beyond the everyday and into a weekend of wild celebration. Think open-air dancefloors, hidden woodland parties, and soundtracks that drift through the trees long after sunset. This is an immersive escape built for connection, curiosity and a little bit of mischief — where secret DJ sets pop up in unexpected corners and the best moments aren’t on a timetable. Come wander, discover, dance and lose yourself in the magic.
Dates: 31st July - 2nd August 2026
Location: Stowe, Buckinghamshire

Stowaway wasn't dreamed up in a boardroom; it was born from a backyard gathering between mates. Now entering its fifth year, it has evolved into a three-day extravaganza without losing its underground roots. It’s also famously family-friendly! While attendees are at the main stage, kids can enjoy a huge range of free activities and workshops.
We’re incredibly proud to partner with a festival that shares our values. As the team at Stowaway put it:
"We’re really pleased to be working with Tickets for Good to offer tickets to key workers, charity workers, and cost-of-living support recipients. Accessibility and community are a huge part of what Stowaway stands for, and we’re proud to partner with an organisation that helps make the festival more inclusive for those who need it most."
Stowe is beautiful, but it’s still the British countryside; you need to be prepared for all four seasons in one afternoon! Here’s a guide of some of the things you might need to bring along for the festival:
