Popular micro-festival near Milton Keynes offers discounts to nearby residents
A boutique music, wellness and dance festival near Milton Keynes is offering hefty discounts for people living nearby.
Found Festival, a micro festival of music, wellness, creativity and comedy, has announced a discount ticket scheme designed to make its 2026 event great value for the people who live closest to it.
Held just outside of Milton Keynes at the scenic Claydon Estate from August 28-30, residents of postcodes MK18, HP18, HP17 and OX9 can now access heavily discounted tickets. Residents can now get adult tickets covering the whole weekend for £100 each and £20 for 5-17 years.
One day tickets are also on offer at £40 (adult) and £10 (5-17 years), using the code “FOUNDLOCAL” at www.foundfestival.uk/tickets. Proof of address is required at the ticket exchange upon arrival. Payment plans are available across every ticket type, so no festival-goer is priced out.
Now in its second year, Found Festival is the much-loved creation from the family behind Towersey, the UK’s longest-running independent festival. Small by design, the festival is an intimate gathering of just 2,000 people set over a much larger footprint of the idyllic country estate, with a vast, enriching programme that would rival any festival double its size.
Ticket holders will be spoilt for choice with Found’s 2026 programme. Musical highlights include Oxford folk favourites Stornoway fresh from a sold-out Royal Albert Hall; New York’s The Felice Brothers - direct descendants of the same Americana café culture that gave the world Bob Dylan; Scotland’s number-one Celtic outfit Elephant Sessions and dozens more.
The comedy lineup welcomes panel-show favourites and QI and Live At The Apollo regulars Shappi Khorsandi and Kiri Pritchard-McLean; plus live podcast recordings of Origin Of The Pieces, and Insane In The Men Brain.
Beyond the stages, Found is packed with hands-on discovery. The wellness programme features authentic gong ceremonies and sound baths, clowning for grown-ups, and daily yoga, breathwork and meditation with Bucks-based specialists Firelight.
The family programme delivers something for everyone, including the Midnight Playground with LED hula hooping, nightly fire shows by the lake, circus skills, street theatre, storytelling and endless other ways to spark imagination and creativity.
Participate or spectate in workshops that span ballet, ceilidh, and Lindy Hop; the magical lantern making and finale procession, and the Big Art Project led by resident artist Michael Sutherland. Daily DJ sets and silent discos keep the dancefloor going late.
New for 2026, every Found Festival ticket holder will also receive free entry to the National Trust’s Claydon House over the festival weekend where White Cube, one of the world’s leading contemporary art galleries, is staging a major group exhibition of contemporary artists in dialogue with the site’s layered history.
Found continues to deliver a festival that Buckinghamshire can be proud of, with a long list of local suppliers and an ongoing programme of ticket donations to local schools and community organisations.
The festival is 100% independent and not-for-profit. Claydon House is a National Trust property neighbouring the festival site.
