Taking place across three magical days celebrating music, well-being, and community, Good Vibrations Society is a family-friendly festival located in the lush Pippingford Park in Sussex. Expanding beyond the typical festival offering, Good Vibrations places a key focus on music, as well as ecology and well-being - promising to nourish the soul of attendees of all ages with their far-reaching programme that covers everything from inspiring talks, panels, and workshops to world-class live and DJ bookings, including Norman Jay MBE, So Solid Crew, Facesoul, Gentleman’s Dub Club and Soul II Soul, who all grace the bill for 2025. Tickets are available here - https://goodvibrationssociety.com/shop/
Perfectly balanced with Good Vibrations, homegrown and need-to-know talent, music sits at the heart of their diverse celebration. Staying true to the Garage vibes that have become a party-starting staple in Friday night offerings, So Solid Crew’s Romeo and Lisa Mafia make their debut at Pippingford Park this summer. Hot off their sold-out Barbican shows, a collective of musicians from across Africa have created a musical spectacle for the ages known as the London African Gospel Choir arrive at Good Vibrations Society Saturday night reimagining Paul Simon's album Graceland. To conclude, the festival will be inviting North London's very own Soul II Soul for the final dance on Sunday night. Other artists from the billing include Luke Una, Norman Jay, Riot Jazz, Gentleman's Dub Club, Ayla Nereo, FACESOUL, Alex Serra, The Troubled Notes, Madalitso, General Levy plus many more.
Nestled away in the nature of Pippingford Park, Good Vibrations Society, celebrates the idea of community and sharing.

"I have toured the world with a band and run festivals across Europe since 2008 but have taken no greater pleasure than launching and running Good Vibrations Society in the community I grew up in. The Ashdown Forest is a a unique wilderness and we have managed to create a nourishing weekend of music, wellbeing and ecology for all ages in a secret paradise hidden away for most of the year" - Jonathan Scratchley, Co-Founder
