Lost Village Festival celebrates 10th anniversary with Michelin-star chefs and expanded culinary lineup

Lost Village Festival will mark its 10th anniversary from Thursday 21st to Sunday 24th August, returning to its usual location in a private forest near Norton Disney, Lincolnshire. The four-day event, outstanding for its immersive woodland setting and eclectic cultural offerings, will feature an expanded culinary programme, including appearances by several Michelin-starred chefs. The festival continues to combine music, comedy, wellness and food, aiming to create a multi-sensory experience for attendees.

The 2025 edition will spotlight a line-up of chefs boasting a combined total of seven Michelin stars. Among those confirmed are Gareth Ward of Ynyshir, Nieves Barragán Mohacho of Sabor, and Alice Power and Callum Leslie of The Black Swan at Oldstead. Rafael Cagali of Da Terra will also participate. These chefs will contribute to a series of curated dining events taking place in distinctive settings throughout the forest.

Two of the main culinary attractions include the Village Feast and the Table in the Woods. The former (priced at £85 per person) is a communal, four-course dining experience involving restaurants such as AngloThai, Fallow and Blacklock (who will serve their Sunday roast and white chocolate cheesecake). The Table in the Woods (£135 per person) will offer a more intimate setting with a 30-seat chef’s table located deep in the forest, where chefs will prepare multi-course, fire-cooked tasting menus for lunch and dinner.

In addition to the fine dining options, the festival will feature a wide selection of street food vendors, providing both traditional fare and inventive new dishes from around the world. The Eating House showcases a collection of popular London eateries, including Pophams, Alley Cats Pizza, My Neighbours the Dumplings and Pastaio, who will serve a range of dishes in a shared dining space designed for casual enjoyment. Indian-inspired restaurant Kricket will also return, offering Thali feasts at sunset for £60 per person.

Musical acts confirmed for 2025 include Four Tet, HAAi, Caribou, Barry Can’t Swim, and Joy Orbison, complemented by further entertainment such as comedy performances at the Lost Theatre, wellness sessions in the Energy Garden and hands-on creative workshops.
