Fantasy Forest, a unique festival celebrating the fantasy genre, is returning to the magnificent grounds of Sudeley Castle, Gloucestershire from 18 - 20 July 2025.
Each year, Fantasy Forest has continued to attract more and more visitors of all ages from across Gloucestershire and beyond to enjoy a fun-filled, magical summer’s day out for all the family.
For 2025, festival-goers can expect a return of the ever-popular Costume Show and Costume Competition. Featuring a remarkable array of screen-accurate, creative and lovingly hand-crafted costumes, in addition to the costumed characters roaming the grounds, creating a fantastical ambience for this inimitable festival.
Another highlight to expect for 2025 is the Wicker Fire Ceremony, typically held on the Saturday, in which a large, impressive wicker structure is set alight in a moving and poignant ceremony, taking place overlooking Sudeley Castle's impressive Cotswold estate.
It has been confirmed that The Film Orchestra will return again to the 2025 Fantasy Forest Festival with another outstanding performance of recognisable scores from fantasy and sci-fi films and games, including classics such as Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, and Doctor Who, performed on the North Lawn, opposite Sudeley Castle's impressive ancient tithe barn.
