2027 is our 5th Anniversary and promises to be the best one yet!
Get ready to be swept off your feet with an incredible lineup of top-notch bands from across Coventry and Warwickshire, delivering non-stop live music all weekend long.
No festival would be complete without those unforgettable acts that make you want to dance like nobody's watching. Whether you're tapping your feet or dancing up a storm, our diverse lineup will have something for everyone. Not to mention the winner of our Battle of the Bands competition, KENFEST CALLING.

Following some fantastic feedback from festival-goers in 2026, we are delighted to welcome back some of the area's best local food vendors, including Big Malakas (Greek) and Flying Cows Burgers, as well as introducing some new additions for 2027. And, once again, our vendors will be offering smaller portions for our younger guests.
So, soak up the beer (definitely) and the sun (hopefully!) with one of these mouth-watering options catering for a variety of dietary needs and appetites! Our incredible food partners include:
We will again have 45 ales to choose from. We will be welcoming back the most popular ales of the last three years, including the crowd favourite 'Hairy Tosser' from Leatherbritches Brewery, along with a wide selection from local breweries such as Slaughterhouse and Church End, as well as breweries from further afield. And of course, our Purity Lager and Craft Beer Bar will again feature some interesting craft beers as well as the popular fruity lager, Jubel Peach, as well as a low alcohol option!
Cider lovers, rejoice! We are delighted to announce that our revamped cider bar will feature ciders from our friends at Napton Cidery as well as a variety of still, strong and fruity draft ciders. You won't want to miss it! Of course, KENFEST wouldn't be KENFEST without our legendary Prosecco bar, which is returning with an extended range that's sure to delight.
By popular demand, our friends at East Chase Distillery will be supplying their outstanding premium liquors that have been such a hit in previous years. With something for everyone, you're guaranteed to find your perfect pour.
Great news for our younger KENFEST fans: all entertainment is included in your ticket price! From 1pm to 8pm daily, kids can enjoy endless fun with three large bouncy castles and slides, Gladiator, soft play games and of course, the always popular face painting and glitter tattoos.
Also back is the KENFEST MUGA (Multi Use Games Area), operated by the DBS safeguarding approved Kenilworth RFC coaches. This exciting space offers both structured sessions and free play, all within a safe and engaging environment.
With so much in store, KENFEST promises unforgettable moments for kids of all ages. We can't wait to see you there!
