"Total escapism awaits you at this 500-cap getaway in the breathtaking Isle of Purbeck. Dancing, wellness, and good vibes included + Seeker have really ramped up the music this year with Dele Sosimi’s monstrous slabs of deep Afrogroove, the raw soul of Ríoghnach Connolly’s The Breath and a soaring folk-rock headline slot from This Is The Kit. If this is gonna happen every year, colour us blessed."

SEEKER 9th - 12th July 2026
A hidden music festival amongst the the ancient stone, grass and woodlands of the Isle of Purbeck, South Dorset, with under 500 tickets.
SEEKER is a festival with just the right amount of everything, allowing us to keep tickets affordable and waste to a minimum. We also think that doing this for a concentrated, engaged crowd serves a positive, communal experience and much needed warm connection.
SEEKER brings a weekend of high quality live performances delivered to you by a carefully hand-picked selection of artists across 3 stages.
The festival will open at 3pm Thursday 9th July with an opening party that evening and a full programme running all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There will be Late night sessions around the fire and Bass Therapy Sound System in The Stone Barn.
Camping included in the ticket price Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night, there will be limited Campervan Passes for £10
There are also a very limited amount of day tickets which includes parking.
The modest scale of SEEKER promises intimate shows, close connection and space to move and breathe.
Morning Yoga sessions with Lucy Rachael May Yoga & Craft Workshops throughout the day. Massage and Therapies also on offer.
Woodland Wonder Walks, kids and family activities by Planet Purbeck.
The Rambling Hearth Sauna will be fired up at the edge of the woods and the fire pit in the courtyard will be a place to gather in the evening and to sing a song or tell a story.
Our bar shall be stocked with a wide variety of local beer, ale and cider, amongst other tasty beverages and alcohol free options.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served by the very best of local vendors and chefs, using responsibly sourced, local ingredients. They’ll be cooking on gas and in wood fired ovens.
