SISTALAND Festival 2026 – FAQs
When is the Festival?
1
SISTALAND 2026 takes place 10–12 July 2026.
Camping opens from 6pm on Thursday 9 July, giving you time to settle in, meet your neighbours and ease into the weekend before the programme begins Friday morning.
Where is this year’s Festival?
2
We’re heading to Chew Valley Lake in Somerset.
Think open skies, lakeside air and room to breathe! Just outside Bristol, but far enough away to feel like a proper summer escape to your ultimate Sista camp!
Is this a networking event or a festival?
3
It’s a festival built for creatives who are done with awkward drinks receptions.
Across three days, the conversations unfold naturally. You’ll hear powerful panels by day and build real relationships by night - under festoon lights, not fluorescent lighting.
Is camping included in my festival ticket?
4
No, camping must be booked separately as an add-on.
What is the timeline for ticket releases?
5
Tickets go live on 2 March 2026. For Members 1 March.
We’ll release them in stages, starting with early bird tickets at the lowest price. Once those sell out, the next tier will open.
Sunday only day tickets will be released later, closer to summer.
Camping, campervan pitches and glamping can all be booked from launch day (and they’re limited, so don’t sleep on it).
My creative career is just starting — is this for me?

Yes!
SISTALAND isn’t about how long you’ve been in the industry. It’s about where you’re headed.
Whether you’re just starting out or finding your footing, you’ll leave with clarity, connection and the confidence to take your next step.
Everyone starts somewhere. You just don’t have to do it alone.
What is the timeline for ticket releases?

We will release a limited number of bursary tickets for our Sistas experiencing financial barriers.
Because SISTALAND is independently run, these are capped, but they are there intentionally.
Alongside this, we run a Pay It Forward scheme, where members of our community can contribute towards supporting someone else’s ticket. Every contribution goes directly back into making SISTALAND more accessible.
If cost is a barrier, please email festival@sistaland.co with a short note about your circumstances. We’ll help where we can.
