For 2026, SISTALAND moves outdoors.
This year’s festival takes place beside the beautiful Chew Valley Lake in Somerset, a peaceful lakeside setting designed to feel immersive, grounding and intentionally different from traditional industry events.
A place where people could slow down. Breathe properly. Sit by the water. Have meaningful conversations around campfires. Wake up in nature. And reconnect with creativity away from constant pressure and noise.

WHY WE CHOSE THIS LOCATION
The creative industries can often feel overstimulating, competitive and exhausting.
We wanted to create an environment that actively supports nervous systems, wellbeing, connection and creativity, not just productivity.
Chew Valley Lake gives us the opportunity to build something far more immersive than a standard festival experience.
SISTALAND is designed as a full weekend experience.
Attendees can stay on-site across the festival with options including:
-
Bring your own tent or van and stay beside the festival grounds.
