About us
What is Woo Fest?
Woo Fest is an award winning multi-genre family music festival that raises funds for St Richard’s Hospice, Worcester, England. It’s set in a beautiful location near Upton upon Severn and has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2015 raising over £140K with every single penny from every ticket going to the hospice. We also bring you quality music from lots of amazingly talented musicians performing a mix of genres and originals and covers. This is supported by lots for children to do and incredible food at our Woo Fest Kitchen.
It‘s grown from a small festival of friends and family to the first festival on the calendar for many new friends. We smashed all records in 2023 where we raised over £30K for St Richard's Hospice. Every year we learn a bit more and get a bit better but the heart of Woo Fest stays consistent and that's what makes it so special. Great people coming together to volunteer with their time, skills and equipment to put on memorable weekends.

The Last Woo Fest - 7th/8th July 2023
Woo Fest 2023 was a massive success - once again a complete sell out. We had 2 stages of outstanding music with camping in glorious surroundings. There was loads for the kids to do, many different genres of music and wrestling even made its Woo Fest Debut! The Woo Fest kitchen went from strength to strength with fine locally sourced cuisine.
We raised a phenomenal £30,544.25 for St Richards Hospice, up 18% from the previous festival and now over £140K raised in total thanks for all the support!
