Grab a drink, sit, stand, or lie back and get lost in the magical interplay of sound and light

Mixtape returns in 2026, refreshed by a brand new collaboration with world-leading arts collective Squidsoup, masters of beautiful immersive lighting design. Grab a drink, sit, stand, or lie back and get lost in the magical interplay of sound and light as a selection of the UK’s leading performers take you on a journey through the classical music of Europe, Latin America and West Africa. Often tipped as one of the highlights of the Festival, this is a great opportunity to try something new in the safe hands of award-winning soloists and ensembles. Perfect for all the family.
