14th-16th August 2026 ​​Three Pools, Llanvetherine, Abergavenny NP7 8NL, UK

Four years ago, a trip to Wales had to be diverted and something beautiful was born from the smouldering wreckage of the UK’s festival-industrial complex. Now, we are finally ready to return to the place it (kind of) all began. After three years of dancing in garages, barns and fields from Kent to Carlisle, we invite you to join us in beautiful Abergavenny, Wales as we take our party into the next phase of its evolution. We are really excited to be able to expand our capacity and welcome more attendees than ever to our community this year. NOT OK is an intimate, community organised party that will never be run for a profit. Our welfare team, engineers and car park attendants are just as important as our artists and performers, and absolutely everyone plays a role in deciding our vision and direction. NOT OK’s collaborative beauty depends on everyone taking responsibility and bringing the best of themselves. We invite everyone to participate in co-creating this party with us.

We fell hopelessly in love with dance music in loud northern clubs and that has informed our sonic ethos ever since.   Inside our main space this year, we will have a Void soundsystem, with extra subs provided from our own Niche soundsystem.

Sharing delicious and ethically-sourced meals together is one of the pillars of NOT OK. This year we are excited that meals will be provided by the catering team at Three Pools who grow and rear most of the food on-site. There will always be plant-based options available. This meal price is not included in your ticket cost. Three Pools operates with a limit of 12 cans, 2 wine bottles or 1 bottle of spirits per guest. People are not allowed to leave the site and re-enter with more alcohol. There is also a bar onsite. No glass permitted on site. Three Pools is a working farm as well as a regenerating habitat. For this reason, Three Pools will confiscate any glass found on site and may ask to search bags on arrival.

Abergavenny has great transport links and is: • 2 hours from London by train, or 3 hours by car • 2.5 hours from Manchester by train, or 3 hours by car • 1 hour from Bristol by train or by car There is a nominal parking fee of £10 per vehicle, so please consider ride-sharing or taking public transport if you are able to.  There is also space for campervans. Please let us know if that is something you are interested in.

Three Pools operates a small wood-fired sauna in the daytime, next to one of its beautiful lakes. Due to its limited capacity, you will need to book slots ahead of time to avoid disappointment. Respect for the land we are partying on is really important to us. We want to leave the land better than we found it, so please help us minimise waste and pick up after yourselves. Due to the increasing likelihood of extremely dry weather and wildfires in summer, there is a possibility that Three Pools will require any open flames will need to be used in a dedicated area. All party goers must have a valid ticket, or risk expulsion from the site.

All tickets include access to camping on site. There are a limited number of bell tents provided by Three Pools, which include: • Mattresses + Bedding • Tables • Lights Sheep Skin Rugs • Solar Power They cost £250 per bell tent. If you would like to book one, please go to our ticket link.

If the party is cancelled, you will be refunded the full cost of your ticket, minus the TicketTailor fee. We are unable to offer ticket refunds if you can’t attend.
