Lindisfarne Festival 2025: Good Vibes, Great Music & Dog-Friendly Fun 🐾🎶
Last weekend, we swapped muddy paws for festival fields and headed to Lindisfarne Festival — and wow, it didn’t disappoint! 🎉 We went just for that the day and didn’t take our dogs this time (day off duties for us 😂), but if you love music, amazing food, and the best festival vibes, this one needs to be on your list.
From the minute we arrived, the atmosphere was brilliant. Everyone was relaxed, friendly, and just out to enjoy themselves — it had such a nice vibe. And I have to mention this… I could not get over how clean the portaloos were! 😂
Why Lindisfarne 2025 Stole the Show 🌟
Lindisfarne isn’t just about the music — it’s the whole experience. The food stalls were next level, with everything from wood-fired pizzas and loaded fries to burgers, sweet treats, and world street food. There were plenty of bars and chill-out spots too, so you could grab a drink and soak up the sunshine — and yes, we were lucky that the sun shone for most of the day, all while live music played in the background.
Although it’s an adult-only festival, one of the best bits has to be that it’s dog-friendly too! 🐶 As long as they’re on a lead, pups are welcome almost everywhere on site (apart from the music marquees), and it was so lovely seeing dogs of all shapes and sizes living their best festival lives. Everywhere you looked, there were wagging tails, happy faces, and dogs soaking up the atmosphere right alongside their owners.
That said, festivals aren’t for every pup. Some absolutely thrive on the buzz of music, food smells, and crowds, while others are much happier enjoying a chilled day at home on the sofa — and that’s okay too. But if your dog loves an adventure and being part of the action, Lindisfarne is one to keep on your radar.
Festival Highlights 🎶
✨ Dutty Moonshine Big Band Doggy Meet & Treat
I absolutely loved that the Dutty Moonshine Big Band organised a little ‘doggy meet & treat’ before their set 🐾. Such a sweet touch and a really fun idea, handing out treats and taking time to fuss over everyone’s dogs. It gave pups and owners a chance to come together and just added to that lovely, friendly community vibe that Lindisfarne has nailed so well.
🐶 Buddy the Bulldog – Festival Icon
And then there was Buddy the Bulldog, aka the “Lindisfarne Final Boss” 😂. Cruising around the site in his very own buggy, complete with a personalised number plate, Buddy stole the socials and became a total festival star. I got chatting to his owners, and their stories about his hilarious human-like antics had me chuckling away.
🐾 Dog Welfare Area
This year, Lindisfarne introduced a dedicated doggy welfare area — a shaded spot with fresh water and treats where pups could relax and recharge between all the excitement. I didn’t come across it myself, but it’s such a brilliant addition for keeping four-legged friends happy and comfortable.

We had the best time at Lindisfarne 2025 and honestly can’t wait to go back next year. We went just for the day this time, but after experiencing it properly, I think camping might be on the cards for us in 2026! Whether you’re there for the music, the food, the community, or just to people-watch (and dog-watch 🐶), it’s one of those festivals you’ll remember for all the right reasons.
