After last year’s cancellations, music festivals are making a comeback in summer 2021. The return to normality might have come too late for Glastonbury, but Latitude, End of the Road and Green Man are all readying themselves for action. Whether you are heading to one of these festivals or not, we think bringing the spirit of them right into your home is a fab idea for a summer celebration. So, read on for tips, hacks and ideas for creating your very own mini-festival at home…
Festivals are, of course, all about the music, so you’ll want to get some summer tunes lined up in playlists. You could also create your own festival line-up by creating dream ‘setlists’ of songs by your favourite artists to play throughout the day. If the neighbours won’t appreciate music blasting out, then get everyone to sync their playlists and put on headphones for a silent disco.
Top tip: Do you have any musicians in your ranks? Make it a proper festival party by sourcing a keyboard or guitar and asking a musical friend or family member to perform a headline set. Hopefully, they’ll take requests!
Music might be the mainstay of a summer festival, but getting the food right is also very important for instilling that all-important festival vibe. Whether you want to recreate the dirty burger experience or would prefer to go for something a bit posher, the choice is yours. For burgers, put a bit of effort in and make your own. This recipe is about as basic as you can get, and once you’ve fired up the barbecue and got them cooked, you won’t be sorry you made an extra bit of effort. Set up a burger bar for the festival-goers to customise their grub – think fried onions, cheese slices, pickles, jalapenos and a decent selection of condiments (burger sauce is essential!) Try these sriracha and lime chicken skewers or these halloumi kebabs, if you want something a little fancier.
Top tip: Summer 2021 will be a season of celebrations, so why not brighten up your party tableware and go for pieces you can reuse again and again? These colourful Choose Happy plates will look great at your festival party, while these Candy Stripe platters are perfect for serving up kebabs and salads for people to help themselves from.
You’ll want to keeping the drinks flowing at your at home festival, so set up a bar in the most convenient corner of your garden. Nobody wants to be stuck serving drinks all afternoon, so instead get some of our Kilner drinks dispensers and your guests will be able to help themselves. Go for this stackable jar set or this 5L clip top one. If you want to keep a cocktail perfectly chilled, this dispenser will fit snugly in your fridge. You could also fill one of these palm tree drinks coolers with your favourite beer, fizz, rosé and heaps of ice, and put out tumblers and wine glasses for people to use. We think these acrylic tumblers and wine glasses with embossed detail are particularly smart.
Top tip: What will you fill your drinks dispensers with? You could create your very own festival cocktails of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties, or search online for inspo. The trick when using the dispensers is to pick drinks that don’t require too much muddling or mucking about with. Pimm’s is a summer classic, as is Long Island Iced Tea (if you really want to blow people’s heads off!). For something a little different, how about this pink gin iced tea or this watermelon lemonade for the non-drinkers?
To transform your home and garden into a place worthy of a summer festival, you should put plenty of decorations up around the place. There are a couple of themes you could pick that fit the bill for a festival – either bright and brash, or boho. For the former, set the scene with our Mix It Up Brights collection: this streamer and balloon arch kit will be the attention-grabbing centrepiece your party needs! For a Glastonbury-inspired boho festival, get started with butterfly bunting, a rose gold balloon arch and white wisteria foliage garlands. Your festival party will hopefully roll on from afternoon into evening, so make sure pretty lighting is part of your summer set up. We’ve got all sorts of lanterns and fairy lights to choose from.
Top tip: Festival-going is perfect fodder for social media, so create a hashtag for you and your friends to use, and you will easily be able to find and share each other's pics and videos of the party.

With festival season being, close to, completely cancelled because of COVID19, it’s time to bring the festival fun to you. Grab your tents, glitter, and music, because this is how you can host a festival at home.
Begin planning your stay-at-home festival by naming it. Don’t stress yourself out too much about creating a funny or witty name, something simple will do just fine. Naming your festival will simply put a name to the event and make it more official.
It’s always nice to have memorabilia from a festival. Despite your festival taking place in your own home, and with limited guests due to COVID rules, making access passes is a fun way to commemorate the event. Make your passes by either drawing or create a simple graphic. Print your graphic on plain paper or card and fold it into a small rectangle. If you have access to a laminator, laminate the pass to avoid it becoming damaged by spilled drinks or general wear and tear. Finally, attach your passes to some string, or a lanyard if you have one, and hand them out to your festival-goers. Don’t forget to remind them that without their passes they can’t access the festival, so they must be worn at all times.
It may seem silly to create a map for your festival when it’s being hosted in your own home, but it’s part of the festival experience. Draw a simple layout of your house and pinpoint the areas where events will take place. You could even create a breakdown of which bands you will be playing at certain points of the day, just like in a real festival program. Similarly to the access passes, creating a map will provide your festival-goers with a small token from the festival that they can keep.
You can’t have a festival without music. Unfortunately, you can’t have any live performances, unless someone in your social bubble is a musician. Luckily, there are a few music streaming options that will provide all the tunes your festival needs.
Firstly, many festivals that have been cancelled due to COVID have been showing performances from past acts. For example, Radio 1’s Big Weekend is available to watch on IPlayer. You could create your perfect festival line-up by going through performances from festivals past and playing those for your guests.
Alternatively, you could create your own playlists using a streaming service. This way it is completely up to you which songs to include in your set. Regardless of your decision, make sure that you have a headline act that is worth sticking around for.
You can’t host a festival without getting your house adequately festival-ready. Make a stage for your virtual bands to perform on by using a chair or table to prop a laptop on. Pitch a tent in your garden and allocate camping space for those staying at the festival. Use fairy lights to illuminate your food court and stage area. Create an outdoor seating area using throw pillows and blankets. Finally, finish off creating the festival vibe by using colourful streamers and banners to decorate the area. You want to create a new experience for your festival-goers, so get creative with your decorations.
When visiting a festival there are usually activities that can be done between seeing performances. These can be anything from face/glitter painting to playing human-sized Jenga. Plan some activities throughout the day that can involve all of your festival-goers. Do some face-painting, play some games and, most importantly, have fun with it. Make sure that your activities are appropriate for all ages so that any children at the festival can join in.
Part of the fun of festivals is dressing up for them. Think flamboyant but comfortable. Shorts, feathers, sequins, tassels, and, of course, a pair of wellies. You want to be prepared for all weather conditions, so it’s best to wear something lightweight for the sun, but also have a waterproof coat on-hand for the rain. The most important thing to remember when getting ready for your festival is… you can NEVER wear too much glitter.
Eating at festivals is all about grabbing something easy to eat at a food truck and dining Al-Fresco. Set up a BBQ and have burgers, hot dogs and other easy-to-eat delicious BBQ foods available for your festival-goers. Create your very own food court and let your guests lounge on throw pillows and blankets whilst they enjoy some, much-needed, festival food before they get back to their raving. The bonus of attending an at-home festival is that you can skip the endless food queues.
One of the best parts of going to a festival is camping. The joy of a stay-at-home festival is that you don’t have to camp in a crowded campsite, surrounded by queues of people waiting to use the portaloos in the middle of the night. Upgrade your camping experience by creating a calming campsite that your festival guests can enjoy. Pitch some tents and make them comfortable and cosy. Leave out plenty of sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets for your guests to snuggle up in, and light your tents with a multitude of fairy lights. You want to give your festival-goers a relaxing area to wind-down after a day of partying to their favourite artists.
Finally, make sure that you document your festival journey. Your festival is bound to be a lot of fun for yourself and your guests, so make sure that you capture plenty of photos and videos to remind you of what you created. You could even go live on Facebook and Instagram and share parts of your festival experience with your followers.
The joy of a stay-at-home festival is that there is less chance of your clothes getting covered in mud from staying in a field all weekend. If you do happen to get muddy during your festival, let us take care of your clothing. Book a Laundryheap hot wash service by heading to the Laundryheap website or by downloading the free Laundryheap app.
