Lost Village Festival

Lost Village is a festival that takes place in a secluded woodland near the village of Norton Disney, Lincolnshire. The event is structured around interactive theatre performance, with an ongoing event-wide narrative about a Lost Village using a large cast of actors. The three-day event includes music, global food, art, comedy and talks, which take place in several areas and stages with colourful names, including the Abandoned Chapel, Lost Theatre, Lake of Tranquillity and Bureau of Lost.

The Lost Village festival was founded in 2015 by DJs Jaymo and Andy George.

The festival is set in a heavily wooded location near Lincoln, and includes old cabins and dilapidated buildings. There is good public transportation to the site.

Lost Village is a creative project with a storyline that changes and develops, year on year. The story is acted out by a large cast of characters, who play the role of the village’s native inhabitants. The event emphasizes unpredictability, one-on-one experiences and abstract surrealism. There is space for about 5,000 participants, and the venue offers both rough camping and ‘boutique-camping’ on-site with various yurts, tipis and bell tents. The event begins with a welcoming party.

Lost Village provides a range of UK street-food as well as a tribal banquet experience. In 2016 this featured the Michelin starred chef Michael O’Hare and Typing Room’s Lee Westcott. 2016’s street food traders included Dalston's Voodoo Ray’s and bacon butty from London's Le Swine.

Comedy: Katherine Ryan, Joel Dommett, Sam Simmonds, Eric Lampaert, Chris Turner
