A New Landmark for Luton

Date: 15th July 2025

Join the Festival Honouring Luton Henge.

After many months of creating, planning, local community consultations and workshops, Luton Henge rises in Marsh Farm. This bold, beautiful fusion of ancient heritage and modern imagination stands as a testament to the creativity and unity of Lutonians. Now, the entire community—and beyond—is invited to celebrate this extraordinary achievement at the Luton Henge Festival on Saturday 26 July 2025, from noon till sundown.

This free, one-day festival, held at the Luton Henge site just outside Marsh House, near the historic site of Waulud’s Bank, marks the official launch of Luton’s very own henge—a brand new gathering space shaped by the hands and hearts of the people of Luton.

Led by visionary artist Matthew Rosier, commissioned by the Chilterns National Landscape, and produced by Revoluton Arts as part of the Nature Calling programme, Luton Henge is more than a monument—it’s a movement. It’s where art, history, nature and community meet.

Festivalgoers can expect a vibrant day packed with live music, performances, creative workshops and hands-on activities for all ages.

Elaine King, Chief Executive, Chilterns National Landscape said: “Luton Henge is a beautiful new monument and nature-rich community space, connecting to the Chilterns countryside and shaped by the local community. Luton’s heritage – from ancient earthworks to 90s rave culture – might not be what people might associate with the countryside, but it’s all part of our connection to the land. Working with Luton’s communities has been a joy. Their enthusiasm and ideas have shaped something truly special.

Lindsey Pugh, Chief Executive and Creative Director, Revoluton Arts said: “Witnessing the rise of Luton Henge in recent weeks, outside our home at Marsh House, has been amazing. Luton Henge represents a joyful union of people and a shared creative ambition for Luton that responds to the incredible heritage of Marsh Farm. This location holds deep histories of spirituality and ritual – from Neolithic gatherings of people at the source of the River Lea, to contemporary collectives in the 80s and 90s motivated by positive social change and fuelled by music, from reggae and punk to rave. Luton Henge Festival will be an inspiration for future gatherings of people, honouring the past, celebrating the now and defining positive futures for this brilliant new cultural destination.”

This is a once-in-a-generation celebration of Luton’s spirit. The event marks a significant milestone for the town, inviting the community and wider audiences to witness how Lutonians are proving that you can make it here—and share it with the world.
