From the creators of Lindisfarne Festival, the Little Lindi Family Festival is about bringing families together to have a great time and discover new ways to have fun.

Little Lindi will make its debut in July 2022 and will be an exhilarating and immersive event filled with music, arts and bucketloads of opportunities to explore, have fun and try something different – all with your favourite people.

The festival is built on the kind of values which have cemented Lindisfarne Festival into the hearts and diaries of thousands of grown up good-time seekers across the North East and wider UK, we think it’s the perfect way to kick off the summer holidays – a big fun family camp out.

The festival will offer a diverse programme of music, circus and theatre performances across stages and tents filled with arts and well-being workshops including yoga, dance, bushcraft, meditation, circus and storytelling.

Little Lindi will be so much more than just family friendly – it’s going to be completely family focused and a brilliant way to introduce kids to the festival experience.

An intimate family camp festival, Little Lindi 2022 offers a picturesque weekend full of talented artists with well-being and arts workshops including yoga, dance, drumming, learn to DJ, bushcraft, raw food, break dance and meditation.
