Lush Fest 2026 Is Bringing a Festival of Connection to London This Summer
This summer, Lush will invite Londoners to put their screens down and reconnect through touch, scent, conversation, creativity and shared experiences with Lush Fest.
Running from August to October 2026, Lush Fest will bring a curated programme of in-store events to Lush locations across the UK, including several venues in London. The festival has been created around a simple idea: while people are more connected than ever digitally, many are feeling increasingly disconnected from one another.
With the World Health Organization reporting that one in six people worldwide experience loneliness, Lush Fest will offer a chance to step away from screens and spend time connecting with others in real life.
The programme will feature a mix of experiences designed to engage the senses and bring people together, from sound baths and product-making sessions to botanical hair washes, fragrance readings, live music, comedy nights, secret gigs and expert talks.
One of the upcoming London events will be a special live recording of the award-winning Miss Me? podcast, hosted by long-time friends Miquita Oliver and Jordan Stephens. The conversation will focus on the rise of manosphere culture, misogyny and the ways healthier conversations can be created both online and offline. Guests will be invited to take part in audience Q&A, alongside personal stories and practical discussion, making it an honest and ultimately hopeful addition to the Lush Fest programme.
Lush Fest reflects the brand’s long-standing approach to encouraging people to connect beyond their screens. Lush famously stepped away from major social media platforms in 2021, and the festival will continue this focus by creating physical spaces for conversation, creativity and community.
With events taking place across London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Poole, Brighton, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Leeds and Bath, Lush Fest will offer plenty of opportunities to discover something new while spending less time online.
For Londoners, the programme will provide a varied selection of events throughout the summer and into autumn, with experiences ranging from sensory and wellbeing activities to live entertainment and thought-provoking conversations.
