Welcome curious creatures, to Core Element 2026!

We are a fantasy, costuming, music and immersion festival, nestled within the show ground and forest of Elvaston castle, UK.  Prepare for 3 days and 3 nights of fun, dance, experience and mystery. And yes, you are welcome to camp on site throughout our event!

DJ sets, workshops, activities, shows, live acts, beautiful natural spaces, vendors, tasty food and.... US.

Away from the prying eyes of AMRI, you are invited to join us in our celebration of something ancient and powerful. For thousands of years, our eyes have watched quietly. AMRI's discoveries and exploits have forced our hand. This is why we invite you, dear creatures, to join us in our celebrations. So that we may show you the true nature of the Core Element. Seek us out, and we will guide you on your journey.

It is time, gather your clan. Bring your tents, bring your outfits, bring your energy! ​

The forest calls to you, will you answer?
