Faceless Paradise is the UK’s first “phone-less” festival, a not-for-profit event demonstrating how we can live sustainably, in harmony with one another and the planet. As well as environmental consciousness, our festival focuses around building community and the power of art in difficult times. This isn’t escapism. This is real life. This is Faceless Paradise.

Faceless Paradise Festival
23–26 July · Swanworth Farm, Dorking
A rural music and arts festival supporting independent artists, local makers, and slow creative culture.
A festival shaped by place
Faceless Paradise takes place at Swanworth Farm, on the edge of the Surrey Hills. The landscape isn’t just a backdrop — it sets the pace of the weekend.
Across four days, the festival brings together live music, food, workshops, and handmade traders in an open countryside setting designed for connection rather than consumption. It’s a space to discover new artists, share meals, sit with ideas, and spend time outdoors without the pressure of constant distraction.
What to expect
Live music from independent and emerging artists
Food & drink from small producers and local suppliers
Artisan traders working across craft, print, clothing, and design
Workshops & slow moments woven into the programme
Camping on site beside open farmland
An artist-first approach
Artists are at the centre of how Faceless Paradise is built.
That means:
Fair fees wherever possible
Considered scheduling and technical support
A setting that allows artists to be present, not just perform
Rather than chasing size or spectacle, the festival prioritises conditions where creative work can land properly — for both artists and audiences.
Phones down, moments up
Faceless Paradise encourages a more analogue pace.
Phones aren’t banned, but we invite people to spend less time documenting and more time noticing the music, the land, and each other. The festival is designed to be experienced first-hand, not filtered.
Inside
our world
Faceless Paradise seeks to redefine what a modern music festival can be: balancing artistic integrity and exploration with social change and environmental impact.
Our Mission
Our Values
Faceless Paradise is a refuge for those who look beyond the noise of consumption and conformity. As such, we vow to create a space that aligns with these values.
Showcasing and celebrating emerging artists.
We aim to explore how art reflects, and can reshape, our collective future.
Sustainabilty down to the roots
Raising ecological and environmental awareness and putting sustainability at the heart of what we do. A paradise that lasts forever.
Creative Collaboration.
Together, we want to highlight the power of creativity as a tool for positive social change. Faceless Paradise creates a community under a collective love for music, art, and environment.
A paradise for EVERYONE
We want to make festivals accessible to everyone, focusing on providing immersive, transformative experiences that are affordable rather than a privilege. People not Profit.

We value authenticity and acceptance for everyone. Our paradise is not just a safe haven, but a movement for collaboration and creative freedom. In a world that trades humanity for productivity, we encourage you to remember who you are beyond the noise.

Creating a sustainable, diverse, and inclusive space for personal expression is a fundamental part of who we are. We respect each other, and our planet in the hopes that, together, we can exit paradise into a world reborn.

We support EVERYONE, supporting emerging talent and giving you a voice in a world full of so much noise. We believe in creating a family, where masks are removed, and anyone can be anyone.
