THE ULTIMATE 2026 FESTIVAL GUIDE
The countdown has begun. Sure presents the Guernsey Together Festival, returning to The Rabbit Warren on Saturday, 13 June 2026. Gates open at 12:30 PM for a day filled with music, DJs, family fun, food, drinks, and a lively festival atmosphere lasting into the evening. This year, the festival brings back the popular singalong vibe it's famous for, while introducing new elements for families, hospitality guests, and those over 30. Whether you're there for the headline acts, planning a family outing, heading straight to Qualis Hospitality, or just want to know what to expect, this is your complete guide to the Guernsey Together Festival 2026.
First things first
If you have not booked yet, tickets and hospitality tables are available through the festival’s official Eventbrite page. Hospitality table reservations are limited, so it is worth getting sorted early if you want to lock one in before the day.
The best advice is simple: arrive early. It gives you time to get parked or dropped off without stress, collect anything you need, grab food or tokens, settle in properly and make the most of the full day, especially if you are coming with children and want to enjoy the earlier family activities. Wristband collection, tickets, merch and tokens
To make festival day easier, advance wristband collection will be available on Thursday 11 June and Friday 12 June, from 12:00pm until 8:00pm, at the front gate box office. If you can collect in advance, do it. It will save time on the day and help you avoid joining the busiest arrival queues.
While you are there, you can also sort your merch and tokens. The token and merch booth will be located near the entrance to Hospitality, and it is the place to pick up festival clothing and get yourselves ready before heading in. This year’s merchandise includes hoodies, T-shirts and kids’ clothing, with children’s merchandise also forming part of the 2026 additions.
One important thing to know before you arrive: this is a cashless event. In Hospitality, the bar is card only. Everywhere else on site works on tokens, and cash is not accepted. Tokens are non-refundable, so it is worth buying what you think you are realistically going to use.
Entry, ID checks and re-entry
Please make sure your ticket is ready when you arrive. It helps speed things up massively if your phone is charged and your ticket is already open before you get to the gate. A screenshot is a smart backup too.
Security checks and bag searches will be in place on entry, so please allow a little extra time for that, especially during the busiest arrival periods.
ID checks will also be in operation. If you are drinking alcohol, or look young enough to be asked, bring valid photo identification with you. It is much easier to have it and not need it than the other way round.
You can leave the site and come back, so re-entry is allowed. Just make sure you keep your wristband on and intact.
Under 18 entry policy
Please pay attention to this before festival day, because it will be enforced.
All under 18s must be linked to a responsible adult aged 25 or over. That adult must hold a valid paid ticket for the event and must attend in person. One adult can take responsibility for up to three under 18s. If that requirement has not been properly met, entry may be refused.This policy is there to keep the festival safe, well managed and enjoyable for everyone, so please do not leave it until the last minute. If you are booking for younger people, make sure all the responsible adult details are sorted in advance.
Getting there, parking and getting home
There is no dedicated festival parking, so it is best to plan ahead. If you can walk, do that. If not, car share, use public transport, or arrange a taxi. If someone is dropping you off, the drop-off point is outside Rock Health.
Please be considerate of local residents when arriving and leaving. Do not block roads, entrances or driveways, and do not assume you will be able to find a convenient space nearby at peak times.
The smartest move is to sort your journey home before you even arrive. That is especially true if you are staying until the headline acts finish. A little planning here saves a lot of hassle later.
Families: what to expect and when to come
Guernsey Together Festival is very much designed to be a proper family-friendly day out, and 2026 has gone bigger on that than ever. One of the biggest new additions this year is Little Beats Club, a dedicated under 12s festival party running from 12:30pm until 2:45pm, built around child-friendly music, fun, shared family moments and controlled sound levels for younger ears. The 2026 line-up of family extras also includes character meet and greets, photo opportunities, face painting, glitter tattoos and more, all aimed at making the early part of the day especially good for families. If you are coming with children, the best advice is to arrive early and lean into the daytime side of the festival. That is when the site is best set up for younger festivalgoers and when you will get the most out of the family entertainment without feeling rushed.
A few family questions always come up, so here are the useful answers. Yes, you can bring baby food, snacks and water bottles, and empty bottles are also allowed. Yes, there is plenty going on beyond just the music. Yes, it is completely fine to plan your day around the earlier activities and then head off when the children have had enough. And yes, if you want to go all in on outfits, do it, because the fancy dress competition is part of the fun too.
Dress 4 The Fest
New for 2026, Dress 4 The Fest is officially part of Guernsey Together Festival, so if you have been looking for the perfect excuse to go all out, this is it. This year’s theme is Festival Fever, and whether that means bold colour
s, sparkle, statement outfits, matching group looks or just your own fun take on festival style, now is the time to lean into it. It is all about bringing extra energy, personality and colour to the day, and it is one more reason to arrive early, get involved and really make the most of the full festival experience.
Qualis Hospitality and table bookings
If you want to do the festival in a more comfortable way, Qualis Hospitality is the premium option. The 2026 set-up has an Arabian Nights-inspired feel, with a private and more elevated atmosphere, a main stage view, private bar, dedicated toilets, local DJs, covered areas, garden space, fast-track entry and even the return of the roaming magician. It is designed to feel stylish without losing the festival buzz.
Hospitality table bookings are also available and are a really good option if you are coming as a group. Each table seats up to 12 guests and comes with dedicated table service all day. Your host can take your drinks orders and even place food orders from on-site vendors for you. The current set-up is a £100 deposit per table, with a £450 minimum spend, and the deposit counts towards that spend. Guests can either set up a tab on the day or pay as they go. Tables are limited, and once booked, the preference sheet and follow-up information will be sent out. Table bookings can also still be arranged on the day if availability remains.
The full 2026 running order
The festival line-up is spread across the Main Stage, Performing Arts, the new Still Got It Stage for the over 30s crowd, and Qualis Hospitality, giving people plenty of choice across the day. The stage line-up and 2026 additions are part of the current official festival build-up.

Food and drink
There will be a wide mix of food and drink options across the site, with something for different tastes and dietary needs. The 2026 festival pages highlight returning favourites and new additions among the traders, alongside the broader entertainment and food offering across the day.
As mentioned above, the general site operates on tokens, while Hospitality is card only. Bring an empty water bottle if you want one with you, and families are welcome to bring baby food and snacks
What not to bring
For everyone’s safety, please do not bring glass bottles or containers, illegal substances, weapons or sharp objects, or professional photography equipment without prior approval. Pets are also not permitted on the festival site, apart from registered assistance animals. Bag checks will be carried out on entry, so it is worth packing light and keeping things simple.
A few final tips before you come
Charge your phone before leaving home. Keep your ticket ready. Screenshot it just in case. Collect your wristband early if you can. Arrive together if you are coming as a group, especially if under 18s are involved. Wear something you will be comfortable in from day to night. Bring a layer for later on. Plan your lift, taxi or walk home before the music finishes. And if you are thinking of dressing up, go for it.
Most importantly, do not just turn up for the headliners and miss the rest. The best thing about Guernsey Together Festival is the full-day atmosphere. Come early, explore properly, support the local acts, enjoy the food, take in the different stages and make a full day of it.
