A music festival dubbed a pint-sized Glastonbury is set to kick off in Wiltshire this week.
Earlier this year the organisers of Shindig Festival announced they would be bringing the event to Charlton Park Estate near Malmesbury following 10 years in Somerset.
The festival will take place at the former home of WOMAD and starts on Friday, May 22, with festivities running throughout the bank holiday weekend.
Shindig has previously been recommended as an alternative to the Glastonbury by the major event’s co-organiser Emily Eavis.
The 2025 line-up, Shindig’s first in Wiltshire, includes Gilles Peterson, Seun Kuti & Egypt 80, and Moonchild Sanelly – who has collaborated with Beyoncé, Gorillaz, Self Esteem and Ezra Collective among others.

Music programmer Stu Matson said: “The Shindig 2025 line-up is a global celebration of rhythm and culture.
“Where afrobeat meets electronic, reggae meets soul, funk meets industrial rap.
“Expect fresh beats, bold new sounds, and unstoppable energy. It’s still the ultimate destination for dance lovers – now with even more to discover.”
Weekend tickets, which include camping, remain on sale at £225 for adults, £103.07 for teenagers, and £32.55 for children, while infants under four go free.
Those living within six kilometres of the site can receive discounted entry.
