Faith & Fields is an exciting unique venture that will combine Willowbrook Arts and Music Festival with the fun spiritual programme that ISB previously brought to you at the Living Islam Festival.

Bringing together your whole family for a relaxed camping weekend that will inshallah nurture your mind, soul and the planet! Open to everyone, from 0-80+

Our activities will emphasise the harmony between Islamic principles and sustainable living, in a fun, spiritually rejuvenating setting: 

• Bespoke programmes for each age group (adults, young adults, teens, and 6-10 year olds)
• Talks & workshops
• Outdoor activities and sports!
• Bonfire 
• Nasheed concert
• Communal salah & reflections
• Art & Crafts
• … and more to be confirmed!

Staying at Willowbrook Farm is an opportunity to experience a more eco-friendly lifestyle – through organic eating & farming, green workshops, eco-conscious product vendors, and waste-reduction practices.

Our festival’s objectives are to:

• Increase awareness about sustainable living practices and how they align with Islamic teachings.
• Foster a sense of community and shared purpose among attendees.
• Inspire you to adopt sustainable habits in your daily life, integrating them into your lifestyle as a Muslim.
• Leave you feeling spiritually rejuvenated!

What are my parking options at the event?

There is free car parking on site, at the designated car park. 

Note that parking will not be allowed directly next to tents, but in the main car park. This is less than 100m from the field where tents will be.

Cars are permitted to come and go during the event but you must do so with caution as children are likely to be around.

Is there WIFI on site?

There is no wifi on site. However, there is reasonable phone reception around the site for most major phone networks, which should be sufficient for phone calls, text messaging and WhatsApp.

Can I charge my phone anywhere?

There are a limited number of plug sockets in the onsite café, but demand is likely to be high for these. Consider bringing a power bank that is large enough to keep your devices charged for the duration of the event and other charging facilities are limited.

What are the toilet and shower facilities on site?

There will be several toilet and shower blocks on site, separate for men and women. However, we are on a farm and whilst hot water is available in showers, it is not unlimited! Please keep your showers and ablutions to a reasonable length so that everyone can use them.

There will also be a number of outdoor taps so that everyone can make wudhu before prayers.

Are the toilets clean?

Yes, our cleaning will go around all the facilities several times a day to clean them. We request all participant to leave the facilities in a clean condition after using them, as they would like to find them. Cleanliness is half of Faith, and no better place to demonstrate this than at F&F!

Yes, we will have team of trained First Aiders at all times for any emergencies.
