Standon Calling 2024
A boutique music and arts festival, Standon Calling celebrated its glorious 17th anniversary in 2023. Starting life as a birthday garden party in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, the event has blossomed and evolved over the years. Now held across four jam-packed days in July, many festival goers return year after year.
The genre-bending line up boasts big names as well as emerging artists. Past years have brought headliners such as Primal Scream, Loyle Carner, Anne-Marie, Bastille, Hot Chip, Rag’n’Bone Man, Lewis Capaldi, George Ezra and Grace Jones alongside the very hottest newcomers. Early editions of the festival featured the likes of Florence + the Machine, Friendly Fires, London Grammar and IDLES when they were at the start of their careers. Standon Calling also hosts a broad late night line up with DJs across three electronic stages plus live and dance orientated stages open until the early hours.
Standon Calling is famous for its friendly, inclusive atmosphere and varied family programme. There are plenty of activities for everyone from babies to teens. In addition, you’ll find top comedy acts, interactive workshops, inspiring talks and a full Wild Wellbeing programme. That’s not to mention an incredible array of food and carnival rides – plus hot tubs, a swimming pool and much more!
Enjoy the festival to its fullest with Standon Calling’s wide-ranging camping options. From general, family and quiet campsites to boutique camping and Lavish Lands, there’s something for every taste. What’s more, each summer Standon Calling boasts a fun new theme and attendees are known for going all out during the annual costume parade. Dogs are welcome too, so prepare to be charmed by the annual dog show.

Jackie CollinsI visited the funfair – twice, actually! I have a disability, but found I could go on many rides due to helpful staff, and their kindness and eagerness to help. Thank you again for everything, I had a lovely time.
