TWINWOOD FESTIVAL 2027

Twinwood Festival: A Celebration of Vintage Music and Dance in Bedfordshire. Every summer the serene countryside of Bedford comes alive with the sound of swing and rock 'n' roll. Twinwood Festival draws thousands of enthusiasts from around the globe and you can join them over the August Bank Holiday weekend 27th-30st August 2027. Nestled in the picturesque village of Clapham, just outside Bedford, this festival is a unique homage to the music and culture of the 1930s to 1960s. With its origins rooted in the legacy of Glenn Miller, Twinwood Festival has grown into one of the most beloved vintage music festivals in the world. The festival’s location is steeped in history. Twinwood Airfield was once a significant RAF base during World War II and is famed as the last place Glenn Miller was seen before his disappearance in 1944. This historical connection adds a poignant and nostalgic layer to the festivities. The Glenn Miller Museum, situated on the airfield, pays tribute to the legendary bandleader, and offers visitors a glimpse into the wartime era that shaped his music. The festival is a paradise for lovers of vintage music and features over 150 acts across multiple stages including a main arena. Attendees can enjoy performances from big bands, swing orchestras, and rockabilly groups, as well as everything from americana, jazz, soul, and blues. There is something for everyone with a fashion show, children’s entertainment, cabaret, and comedy.
