Gloworm

Gloworm festival is returning to Thoresby Park, Nottinghamshire, with an incredible weekend that ticks all the boxes for making long-lasting memories, taking place 8-10 August 2025.

This year, Gloworm Festival is introducing a range of exciting new zones and hands-on workshops that will engage families in a variety of fun, interactive ways.

Festival favourites include Justin Fletcher, Andy and the Odd Socks, and Sohan Kailey from Bhangra Tots. For younger festival-goers, beloved characters like PAW Patrol’s Chase and Rubble, Elmer the Patchwork Elephant, and CBeebies stars will make appearances, ensuring fun for all ages.

Fans of nostalgia will be delighted by appearances from Mr Blobby, who has always been a massive hit at the festival. Last year, he went viral with his cover of Wonderwall, and this year, festival-goers can expect his usual meet-and-greets, ensuring a fun, memorable experience for everyone. And yet another blast from the past for the adults will be the presence of Zippy and George from the classic children’s ITV show Rainbow that ran for 20 years earning cult status. 

There’s loads more to keep grown ups entertained all weekend with a fantastic line up of live music from vocal powerhouse Rozalla – known for her feelgood hits such as ‘Everybody’s Free’ and ‘Faith’, and Black Lace legend Dene Michael. Then there’s all the tribute acts playing across all three days paying homage to Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa and Blur, so everyone can enjoy a boogie – not forgetting the famous Playmobil Rave too.
