Exmoor National Park Announces Exclusive Sponsorship Opportunities for Iconic 2026 Festivals

Exmoor National Park is inviting businesses to take centre stage, as headline sponsors for two of the area’s most celebrated events in 2026: The Exmoor Nature Festival (16 –31 May) and the Tenth Annual Exmoor Dark Skies Festival (16 October – 1 November).

These festivals celebrate the very best of Exmoor – from its stunning wildlife to its internationally acclaimed night skies. In Spring, the Nature Festival offers a huge range of wildlife and wellbeing-related experiences over two weeks, including bird walks, wild swimming, family fun days and art workshops. In Autumn, the Dark Skies Festival showcases over 60 events in Europe’s first International Dark Sky Reserve featuring everything from stargazing and astrophotography to planetariums and nocturnal wildlife walks.

Julie Colman, who organises the festivals with Exmoor National Park Authority (ENPA), said: “These festivals are not just events, they’re immersive experiences that highlight the very essence of Exmoor. The huge range of activities from sunset yoga to campfire stargazing and storytelling attract thousands of visitors and generate a real media buzz. Previous festivals have attracted wide ranging coverage from regional, national and international media, making this a unique opportunity to share your brand with a wide audience.”

Dan James, Enterprise and Communications Manager at ENPA added: "The festivals offer not only a rare chance to experience Exmoor in its full glory and enjoy a huge range of activities, but they also create incredible opportunities for businesses to align with nature, wellbeing and sustainability. Sponsorship is a chance to be part of something truly unique and impactful and to put your brand in front of thousands of potential customers through the sponsorship benefits and the high-profile media coverage secured through the events. ”
