Campo Sancho is more than just a music festival; it’s a community gathering with a rich history born from an unwavering passion for dance music, its legendary early 90s warehouse parties and a 20-year reign as the largest and most beloved house music sound system at Notting Hill Carnival.
Fuelled by a DIY ethos and an unwavering passion for music, sound, magical dancefloor moments and pushing creative boundaries, this passion propelled Sancho Panza to dominate Notting Hill Carnival for two decades, drawing crowds of over 10,000 with their expertly curated lineups and powerful Funktion One sound systems, personally tuned by founder, Tony Andrews.
Today, Campo Sancho continues this legacy as a boutique festival haven. In a festival landscape saturated with repetitive lineups and a dwindling sense of intimacy, Campo Sancho offers a truly refreshing alternative. It’s where discerning house heads and their families escape the crowds, reconnect with the true spirit of house music, and experience a unique blend of music, arts, and activities for all ages – it’s the ultimate Country Cuddle!
Campo Sancho 2025 takes place at Walkern Hall, an hour north of London, from 25-27 July. With its stunning location, diverse lineup, and family-friendly environment, Campo Sancho 2025 is set to be the most unforgettable edition yet.
