About Bloomin' Fest 2026
It starts the moment the music kicks in.
The smell of street food drifts through the air.
The sun sets over Tewkesbury.
And the whole town feels electric.
If you weren’t there last time, you heard about it.
If you were there, you already know.
Bloomin’ Fest is back — and it’s opening Tewkesbury’s Big Weekend in unforgettable style.
From 6.00pm–10.30pm, Sun Street transforms into a free, open-air celebration packed with:
Live music from brilliant local artists (line-up coming soon)
An outdoor bar to toast the start of summer
Incredible street food worth arriving hungry for
A buzzing, all-ages festival atmosphere
This is your sign to lock in the group chat, book the babysitter (or bring the kids early and stay late), and make a night of it.
Because if you miss it?
You’ll be watching the photos, the reels, the “wish you were here” posts… and wishing you were.
Dress Bold. Stand Out. Be Part of It
This year’s Big Weekend is inspired by nature — and we’re turning the streets into a living, breathing spectacle.
Think florals, foliage, insects, animals, woodland creatures or wild glamour.
Go subtle. Go outrageous. Go full forest fantasy.
There’s a prize for the best nature-themed costume.
This Isn’t Just a Party. It’s Powering What Comes Next.
Bloomin’ Fest is free to attend — but it’s fuel for something bigger.
Every drink poured, every bite bought, every donation given supports The Roses Theatre — helping us create:
More live music
More theatre and comedy
More family shows
More community projects
More moments that turn into lifelong memories
For those who live here. For those who work here. For those who visit and fall in love with Tewkesbury.
When you show up, you’re not just starting your summer right — you’re helping secure the future of arts and culture in our town.
So come. Celebrate. Be part of the story.
Because the only thing worse than missing Bloomin’ Fest...is wishing we’d done more to keep nights like this alive.
Gather your people. Dress up. Stay late.
Let’s make memories — and make sure there are many more to come.
