Fantasy Forest, a unique festival celebrating the beloved fantasy genre, will arrive at Hatfield Park in September, offering a weekend packed with fantasy-themed experiences, entertainment, live music, and attractions such as a Medieval Village, Pirate Camp, Post-Apocalyptic area, Cosplay Court, and more.
Since its launch at Sudeley Castle in 2019, the festival has grown in popularity, drawing visitors of all ages from across the UK and overseas. In 2026, Hatfield Park will host this much-loved event for the first time.
This year’s festival will include three live music stages, with The Film Orchestra delivering a spectacular performance of iconic scores from fantasy and sci-fi films and games, alongside sets from Sunfire and Prima Nocta.
