Nova Festival of Arts & Music
'Big ideas and little details' Nova is new. Nova is different. Nova is small and loved. Nova is a joyously exuberant celebration of creativity in the glorious English countryside, brought to you by the ladies behind the original Big Chill Festival.
Four festive days in a magnificent West Sussex parkland of great trees, gleaming lakes and the greenest of meadows. Let us enthral, engage and inspire you with mad theatricals, spontaneous happenings, thrilling art installations and amazing music. Rub shoulders with the best of artists, musicians and performers and have a go yourself.
Walk, talk, flop in the shade or sun, paint, sing, whisper in the woods. Enjoy strange night walks, author talks in tree houses, wild runs, sound and light spectaculars, our own pub, a steamy dance floor, divine cocktails, hot tubs and therapies, campfires and cinemas, flash mobs, sing-a-longs and workshops, rude stuff, great food, good booze, reasonable prices and respect.
Partnering with the most dynamic arts and music organisations and practitioners in the country, Nova’s eclectic programme features break-through new music alongside established acts; ground-breaking and wildly-creative cabaret, theatre and comedy and some of the UK’s finest bespoke, immersive and interactive outdoor art.
We’ll put a smile on your face as soon as you pass through the gates - welcome to Nova.
