Do you have a usual crew that you sail with? Our team tend to mix n' match but nothing beats a voyage with your friends! We'll be sailing together all the way to SotFest 2026!

We want to see your pirate crew pictures! Will you be meeting them next year?

Say hello to one of our many guests attending next year!!
Meet Millie! A 23 year old Umbrella Cockatoo! I'm sure she's just as excited to meet all of you as we are to meet her!
She'll be joining us with a few others thanks to the lovely folks at ParrotsnPirates ♥️

#SotfestV
A white cockatoo looks directly at the camera with her beak ajar. She has a few feathers missing on her chest due to age. She has a great plume of feathers on the top of her head!

Small stacks of SoTFest VIP boxes printed to look like a crate, stacked neatly. Each box features a blue background with orange silhouettes of three pirates, inspired by the Sea of Thieves community flag. Each box contains a sweet treat

Here is a snap of the outside, despite the sky looking grey it was incredibly hot that day! Image courtesy of MiniMeMarcLee
An image showing the outside of the original venue of SoTFest. It is a grey, single floor building with "The Meeting Centre" on the signage above the door. Either side are banners which read "SoTFest, for the community, by the community". There are a large number of people in front of the venue chatting in groups and walking to/from the venue. It captures the community aspect of the event.

Who was at our first event in Hinckley? Did you put a dot on the map? It was incredible to see so many people show up from around the UK and across the world!

It was a tough decision, but the results are now in. The new SoTFest logo is here.
Huge thanks to @middymidmid.bsky.social for her incredible design. It captures the spirit of SoTFest and our community perfectly. #SoTFest #SoTFestV #LogoReveal
The new SoTFest 2026 logo. A stylised festival logo featuring two clinking beer tankards in gold, one marked “20” and the other “26,” representing the year 2026. Above the tankards are smiling pirate faces and scattered music notes, suggesting fun and celebration. Kraken tentacles curl around both sides of the design, forming a circular frame. At the bottom, a teal banner displays the word “SoTFest” in bold white letters.
