Hifields 2026 brings 12-hour woodland rave to Cambridge

Hifields is taking the party into the woods for 2026—a 12-hour woodland rave with the production values and lineup pedigree the brand's known for. If you're after a proper festival experience without the mud-and-portaloos fatigue, this is it.

What's on

A full day and night of electronic music spread across 12 hours, Saturday 22 August into Sunday 23 August. Hifields has built its reputation on serious production design and curated lineups, so expect both in abundance here. The woodland setting at Dullingham Polo Club near Cambridge gives the whole thing a different character—more intimate than a sprawling field festival, but still big-budget.

The vibe

Think forest-floor dancefloor rather than muddy field. The woods amplify sound naturally, the production rigs will be theatrical, and a 12-hour run means you can pace yourself or go hard depending on your style. It's still a proper rave, just dressed in trees and better infrastructure.

Getting tickets

Hifields events typically sell tiered—early bird, standard, and final release—so prices shift as stock moves. You'll find tickets through the usual festival channels. Age restriction is 18+, so bring ID. Expect the cost to reflect the production quality; Hifields doesn't do budget versions.

Where to stay

Cambridge has plenty of accommodation options ranging from boutique hotels to student-friendly guesthouses. We've picked a selection of places near the venue below to suit most budgets.
