SOUTH COAST FAMILY EVENTS PRESENTS

LILGIANT27

5th – 8th August 2027 | Cerne Abbas Brewery

Big kids, little kids, big tunes, little worries. Welcome to LilGiant27 — a chilled-out, fun-packed mini-festival where music, camping, good food and good people come together under the South Coast stars.

Set at the beautiful Cerne Abbas Brewery, on the edge of the Piddle Valley, LilGiant27 is all about escaping the everyday for a few days and letting your hair down.

The Music

Expect a brilliant mix of live music and DJs, from country-rock and indie to beatbox funk, soul, disco and proper ’70s grooves — alongside poetry, performers and plenty of surprises.

And while the kids run wild, the grown-ups can find their own little slice of heaven in our Healing Field, with massages, yoga, gong baths, drum circles and plenty of opportunities to simply switch off and breathe.

Of course, there’ll be real ale brewed on site, local meats, vegan treats and plenty of festival favourites to keep everyone fuelled.

Food & Drink

Set among the chalky hills of the Cerne Valley, the Brewery is no ordinary festival bar. This is the original home of British brewing, with roots stretching back over a thousand years.

Brewing began here in 987, founded by Æthelmær the Stout and Benedictine monks. It has survived Viking raids, royal upheaval, and centuries of history — and now it’s fuelling one very special weekend.

Expect real ale brewed on site, alongside a mouth-watering lineup of local meats, vegan delights, and classic festival favourites. Whether you’re refuelling after a day of dancing or settling in for a cosy evening by your tent, there’s something delicious waiting for you.

Activities

There’s loads to dive into, whatever your age. This is a playground for all generations, built around play, creativity, connection, and good times.

Get hands-on with bushcraft sessions, jump into family games, cheer on the talent show, and keep the kids buzzing with dedicated activities. Balance it all out with wellbeing experiences like yoga and sound baths, or wander through stalls hosted by eclectic local traders offering everything from clothing and crafts to unique handmade treasures.

Come curious. Leave inspired. And probably already planning next year.

Camping at Lil Giant Fest

Camping is included with your weekend ticket and is a big part of the Lil Giant Fest experience. We’re all about relaxed, easy-going camping where you can settle in, slow down and make the most of the whole weekend.

We’ll be offering basic camping facilities, with toilets available on site throughout the event. Please note that there will be no showers, so this is very much a back-to-basics, festival-style camping experience — wipes and a sense of humour encouraged.

Motorhomes & Campervans

Motorhomes and campervans are welcome. All vehicles must park in the designated camping areas and follow steward instructions on arrival. Please be considerate of space and neighbouring campers.

A dog-friendly, family-focused camping atmosphere

We ask everyone to be respectful of fellow campers, keep noise to a reasonable level at night, and leave no trace when packing up.

Camping at Lil Giant Fest is about fresh air, good company and waking up right in the heart of the festival — simple, sociable and stress-free.

THREE DAYS. TWO NIGHTS. ONE GIANT PARTY.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday are all about Dorset’s finest talent and a whole lot of good times. Dance, chill, eat, drink, camp, laugh, make new friends — or do absolutely nothing at all.

It’s family-friendly, it’s relaxed, it’s a little bit hippie, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll and completely LilGiant.

With just 500 invites available, this is a small, intimate festival rather than a giant muddy marathon.
