Summer Fest 2026 Returns to Framlingham College with Scouting For Girls, Pixie Lott and Amelle Headlining

Get ready to turn up the summer heat—Summer Fest 2026 is back at Framlingham College, bringing a star‑studded line‑up and a carnival of sights and sounds to Suffolk’s historic campus. The two‑day celebration will unfold on Saturday 29 August and Sunday 30 August, with music and entertainment running from 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. each day.

The headline act is a trio that promises a high‑energy, feel‑good set: Scouting For Girls, Pixie Lott and former Sugababes member Amelle Berrabah. They will be joined by a core roster that spans pop, R&B, dance and hip‑hop, including Liberty X, Rozella, Alison Limerick, Phats & Small and Sweet Female Attitude.

Beyond the music, organisers have built a full‑scale festival experience. Professional chefs will showcase live cookery demonstrations, while a chili‑eating contest, magic shows, wrestling bouts and a circus lineup featuring stilt walkers and Punch and Judy performances will keep crowds entertained. A dedicated folk and country stage will spotlight both local and national talent, and interactive workshops and kid‑friendly zones will add extra layers of fun.

Attendees can also unwind in wellness and chill‑out areas, indulge in street‑food stalls, and sip drinks at several festival bars. The event is marketed as family‑friendly and pet‑friendly, with a focus on providing entertainment for all ages.

Framlingham College, situated on College Road (postcode IP13 9E), has hosted the festival in previous years and is once again the backdrop for this summer’s edition. Saint Clair will serve as the weekend’s host, delivering entertainment throughout the two days.

Set times for each act remain to be announced, but tickets are already on sale through the festival’s official website and authorised sellers. The 2026 edition follows a series of successful Summer Fest events in Suffolk, with organisers highlighting the festival’s family‑friendly atmosphere and value as key selling points.

In short, Summer Fest 2026 will deliver a mix of pop, dance and folk performances, a wide array of non‑musical attractions, and a family‑friendly vibe to Framlingham College on 29 and 30 August, running from 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Each day will feature the headline trio of Scouting For Girls, Pixie Lott and Amelle Berrabah. Final details—including ticket prices and full programme times—will be released closer to the event dates.
