More about the Cambridge Club Festival

The Cambridge Club has established itself as one of the most loved festivals in the UK. Founded on a passion for feel-good tunes and dancing, the weekend event brings together friends and family of all ages to share in a celebration of music, arts and culture.

Music is only one element of The Cambridge Club’s immersive offering. Next year, festivalgoers will be able to enjoy an enhanced food experience at Food for Thought – the dedicated dining area that was a hugely popular addition in 2023. This includes a variety of live, interactive experiences centred on food and dining, and a feast of delicious cuisines from a range of top-nosh international food traders.

Following the successful expansion of its camping facilities, The Cambridge Club will continue to offer a truly 5-star luxury glamping experience located right next to stunning flower meadows, pre-pitched and bring-your-tent, and space for campervans. There will be enhanced parking on-site, and the beautiful apple orchard (centrepiece of the site) will be at full capacity – providing more space for a huge variety of incredible acts and on-site entertainment. The new and enlarged orchard will house three stages: Discovery Den, Imagination Station and Auditorium of Intrigue.

The Discovery Den will be a dance music hub between the trees, with leading DJs spinning from day into night – including kingpin of the 80’s club scene DJ Fat Tony; Mister Good Times, Norman Jay MBE; plus DJ Paulette, Melon Bomb, Little Gay Brother, Siggy Smalls, Sophie Lloyd, WAZE, and more.

Other areas include the campers-exclusive After Dark stage which will host the Party-Time Continuum – a blend of bangers and anthems until the early hours. The Imagination Station – the festival’s expanded family entertainment and children’s activities area will bring some of the best family entertainers in the country to Childerley. There will also be a range of fairground rides for the whole family to take a spin on.
The Auditorium of Intrigue will host a hilarious line-up of some of the country’s top comedy stars and thought-provoking discussion panels, also centred in the apple orchard. Previous acts have included Ed Byrne, Marcus Brigstocke, Andrew Maxwell, and Emmanuel Sonubi.

In 2024, the ticketed areas will include:

The Clubhouse, an on-site hospitality area, which offers a five-star festival experience – with complimentary food and drink, fast-track entry, luxury toilets, and more. Here, revellers can indulge in a menu of gourmet cuisine and delicious drinks; relax in high-quality décor; and enjoy a private outdoor space, complete with a stage view.

The Paddock, an exclusive, private area in prime position on the festival site with views of the main stage – designed to help festivalgoers unwind, relax and enjoy a memorable experience.
Standard tickets, general access to the festival site, including the Main Arena and The Orchard.

To make sure that the festival remains affordable in the current economic climate, The Cambridge Club has kept general ticket prices comparable with 2023's edition. With Earlybirds now sold out, adult first release three-day Weekend tickets start from £167.50, and Day tickets from £52.50. Discounts available for under 18s. Prices excluding booking fees.

The Festival’s MD William Young said: “We’re incredibly excited to be back with an amazing lineup for 2024, just a few months after sharing our best-ever festival together. Chaka Khan and Earth, Wind & Fire have always been right at the top of our all-time wish list, so we’re so thrilled to have them perform.
“Plus, we’ve been able to keep general ticket prices steady – which we know is especially important to people at the moment. With another huge headliner to announce in the coming weeks too, we’re already looking forward to another wonderful weekend in June next year!”
With such massive musical legends and an incredible array of cultural experiences, all located in its stunning setting – The Cambridge Club festival 2024 is set to be an unmissable event. Stay tuned for further announcements about further headliners and areas in the coming weeks and months.
