Moovin Festival 2025

Moovin Festival 2025

Big names, booming basslines, a boutique festival in a bull field… It can only mean one thing… Moovin Festival is back and promises to get you dancing to a music lover’s mix of bass, funk, soul, reggae, house and D&B until the cows come home.

From a humble beginning, the small cow barn party that started with a few hundred people has organically grown to a complete sell-out last year and has now well and truly established itself as one of the UK’s best-loved Boutique festivals.

Not far from Manchester, yet feeling like another world, Moovin takes place at the eco-friendly Whitebottom farm in the stunning countryside in Compstall. Through a magical canopy of trees, past lakes with waterfowl to greet you and with a breathtaking gorge welcoming you at the entrance, that’s when the special weekend adventures really begin.

“At the bottom of a tree-lined valley, a hay barn with a fat sound-system. A freewheeling crowd, no VIP red ropes, no hassle from the authorities, just music and good vibes” 90s free party? No. Moovin’ festival, Manchester, .” – GROOVE ARMADA – 2018

Whilst the lineups are big the capacity is purposely limited it’s something the promoters continue to believe in to keep it friendly. This results in a compact and personal festival that is still raw and independent around the edges but all done with real love and care. This intimate affair has a counter-cultural feel and a devotion to booking the freshest acts, as well as surprisingly big names for a festival of its size. It offers a laid-back way to see or if you feel like it get up close and personal with your favourite acts, as well as discovering a diverse array of quirky bands, local talent, drumming outfits and deep-digging DJs from across the musical spectrum. With walkabout performers, fire shows, morning gong baths, yoga classes and a refreshing attention to details only touching the surface, there is a whole lot more to explore and a unique free-spirited vibe at this party that you just can’t quite put your finger on. Moovin Festival really is like no udder!

“Moovin Festival was my highlight of the Summer. The Great Vibes, Music, Venue, the perfect organisation and all these Beautiful people made this Festival become my favourite worlwide” – LEE SCRATCH PERRY

“I’ve been at Moovin Festival from its inception in one way or another and it’s great to see how its grown and still maintained a certain vibe that’s something very very special. 808 closed the barn stage in 2017 and was by far one of our highlights of the year.” 808 STATE

Independent throughout, with a counter-cultural feel and a devotion to booking the freshest acts and performers, Moovin Festival is a laid-back way to catch an eclectic mix of favourite acts as well as exciting new artists. It’s about making new mates and discovering a diverse array of quirky bands, local talent, drumming outfits and deep digging DJs from across the musical spectrum; it’s a place to enjoy ethically sourced foods and cocktails and to try some holistic healing treatments. With walkabout performers, fire shows, morning gong baths and yoga classes and a refreshing attention to details only touching the surface, there is a whole lot more to explore and a unique free-spirited vibe at this party that you just can’t quite put your finger on. Moovin Festival really is like no udder!
