About the festival

Origin Festival UK will debut its first UK edition in 2026, expanding a legacy that has existed in South Africa for decades. Both festivals are produced by the same organiser, Regan of Nano Records, ensuring a shared vision and ethos across continents. The UK edition of Origin Festival will take place in a remote natural setting near Abbots Ripton, offering an immersive psychedelic gathering rooted in nature. Drawing inspiration from the long-running South African event, the festival is known for deep nighttime psytrance journeys, ritual-inspired décor, visionary art, and a strong emphasis on conscious community, self-exploration, and transformation. Weather conditions reflect the UK climate, with mild to warm days and cooler evenings, making layered clothing essential.
