For anyone who thinks life’s better with a bassline, nameplates in LED and beats that echo across a field under open skies — Timescape Festival, taking place 7–9 August 2026 at Abbots Ripton, Cambridgeshire (near Huntingdon), might just be your next pilgrimage. Skiddle 1

🎧 Four Stages, One Electronic Odyssey

Timescape isn’t “just a rave.” It’s a multi-stage, multi-genre journey through electronic music — trance, house, progressive, perhaps even a bit of retro-club nostalgia. The festival promises to blend “past, present and future” sounds across four unique stages: from immersive trance on the “Peach Trance/Anthems” stage to old-school house and big-room vibes elsewhere. timescapefestival.com 2timescapefestival.com 2

Expect a line-up of DJs and producers — both established names and rising talent — delivering euphoric sets, late-night energy and that communal sense of losing yourself in music with a crowd that’s there for the same reason. Skiddle 1

🌳 Countryside Vibes with Festival Heart

Set in the rolling green of Abbots Ripton Estate, Timescape offers a contrast to urban clubs and hardsurf festivals. It’s dance-floors under the stars, but with fields, fresh air and open space — the kind of place where you can raise your arms to the sky and actually feel the breeze. Skiddle 1

Camping is an option (weekend camping packages are offered), so you can fully immerse yourself: come for a day, stay for the weekend, wake up to birds instead of alarm clocks, and maybe treat yourself to a deep breakfast before diving back into beats and bass. timescapefestival.com 1

🔊 Youthful Energy, Big Sound & Friendly Vibes

Timescape aims to be fresh, inclusive and energetic — no elitism, no pretense. It’s the kind of festival where you can go full-on dance or just catch a mellow set, stroll between stages, grab some food, and re-enter with friends whenever. The set-up gives freedom: leave the site, return later, enjoy at your own pace. timescapefestival.com 1

It’s also 18 only — so this is an adult weekend of safe, intense club-style energy, but wrapped in festival scale and countryside calm.

🎯 Who It’s For

• Electronic music lovers — trance, house, progressive, dancefloor-makers, beat chasers.

• Festival goers who prefer open skies over club ceilings — dance under stars, not strobes.

• Groups of friends wanting a weekend escape — camping, camping vibes, camping breakfasts, communal fun.

• Anybody looking for a no-frills but full-on music experience — no unnecessary glitz, just good sound, good people, good memories.

If you can already hear that kick drum — a heartbeat syncing a thousand people across fields — if you want to dance until dawn and sleep under a tent while the night still echoes in your head: that’s Timescape.
