Festival on the Field has gained a reputation as a high-quality family festival where children and families can be entertained in a relaxing, fun and safe environment, attracting up to 3,200 mostly local, people. Festival on the Field is held on the playing fields of Sir John Lawes School – from where it derives its name.
The festival is a volunteer-run fundraising event, organised by the parents’ organisations of Sir John Lawes School and Manland Primary School in Harpenden. The Festival runs every other year and to date, has raised over £100,000 for both schools!



We book the very best tribute acts and over the years, festival goers have danced and sung along to tributes of Queen, Madness, Robbie Williams, Little Mix, Katy Perry, One Direction, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, ABBA, Harry Styles and many more….
We are delighted that the Karaoke phenomenon Massaoke, now much in demand, have agreed to come back and headline the show for us again in 2026.

We always provide a range of food and drink options to cater to all tastes.
To wash all that down, you can choose from a fully stocked bar and cocktail bar at pub prices, Tring Real Ale bar and soft drinks.
