About us
What is Woo Fest?
Woo Fest is an award-winning, family-friendly, multi-genre music festival that raises funds for St Richard’s Hospice in Worcester, England. Set in a beautiful location near Upton upon Severn, Woo Fest has gone from strength to strength since launching in 2015—raising over £218,000 to date. Every single penny from every ticket goes directly to the hospice.
We showcase top-quality music from incredibly talented musicians, with a mix of genres, original songs, and crowd-pleasing covers. There’s also plenty for children to enjoy, along with fantastic food served up at our Woo Fest Kitchen.
What began as a small gathering of friends and family has grown into the first festival on the calendar for many. In 2025, we smashed all previous records by raising over £40.2K for St Richards.
Each year, we learn a little more and get a little better—but the heart of Woo Fest stays the same. It’s a special kind of festival, built on a community of amazing people who volunteer their time, skills, and equipment to create unforgettable weekends.

Woo Fest 2026 – What a Year!
Woo Fest 2026 was a massive success – a complete sell-out for 5 years in a row! Across two vibrant stages, we enjoyed an incredible range of live music in stunning surroundings.
There was something for everyone: fun activities for kids, a wide mix of musical genres, and the triumphant return of wrestling! The Woo Fest Kitchen continued to thrive, serving up delicious, locally sourced cuisine throughout the weekend.
Most importantly, it was a beautiful celebration of community – amazing people coming together to share unforgettable moments.
We’re thrilled to announce that £42K was raised for St Richard’s Hospice – a 20% increase from last year! That brings our total raised to over £272K since Woo Fest began. Thank you all for your incredible support!
