‘Best Shambala ever‘ was cried by many that weekend! Although I swear that happens every year – it truly was a stonker of a year with incredible weather and lovely vibes.
Shambala is festival season’s best-kept secret – I almost don’t want to shout about it as it sells out every year and is pretty much the perfect small festival. It was my 4th year in the Fashpack (where has the time gone?!) selling my silky wares and headpieces and face painting alongside some other wonderful creatives.
Those Festival Facts
Where? A beautiful ‘secret’ location in Northamptonshire
Who? 10,000 wonderful colourful people of all ages
When? Bank Holiday weekend in August
Fruity Friday was, as ever, a spectacular gender-bending show of wonder and the carnival theme this year was my favourite; ‘Cloud Cuckoo Land’ (here was my costume inspiration post!). Shambalans really know how to do fancy dress! I was underprepared as usual but managed to fashion a light-up cloud headpiece… make sure you get to the end of the photos to see people’s amazing costumes.

Me and gorgeous Caro! I’m wearing Fat Pom Poms hoops, she’s in a Zedhead headpiece.
Get Fruity on Friday!
“Cloud cuckoo land is a state of absurdly, over-optimistic fantasy & an unrealistically idealistic state where everything is perfect. Someone who is said to “live in cloud cuckoo land” is a person who thinks that things that are completely impossible might happen…”
This family were absolute goals, how incredible are those costumes? Just wow!!
Catch up on some more of the festivals I’ve adventured to and perhaps you’ll discover some new ones to visit too!

The conversation here feels genuine and much easier to read than many random comment sections online. I found Kohi Clicking Test useful for click accuracy, mouse practice, and better butterfly clicking control lately.
happy festival
Shambala always looks like such a creative and welcoming festival! The costumes, colorful atmosphere, and handmade stalls really make it stand out from larger events. I love spending weekends at festivals like this, and when I’m back home I usually unwind with eaglercraft the browser-based sandbox game inspired by Minecraft. Both are great reminders of how creativity brings people together

The handmade details make this photo diary memorable: the light-up cloud headpieces, borrowed vintage sequins, glitter beards, and the family dressed as different weather elements all feel more personal than mass-produced costumes. I especially liked seeing the Fashpack sellers alongside the finished looks, because it connects the creativity to the people making it. The glowing clouds must have looked brilliant after dark.
