Houghton festival is known for its house and techno music, which is played around the clock across its 1,000-acre grounds, making it the UK’s only 24-hour music festival.
The annual festival kicked off last Thursday (August 6), with this year’s edition featuring debut sets from more than 60 DJs and live acts. The event typically draws around 10,000 people, and has been held at Houghton Hall estate since 2017.
The gathering was founded by dance music legend Craig Richards, who owns the London nightclub Fabric.
The Princess of Wales was reportedly among those attending the techno festival back in 2023, while visiting friends the Marquess and Marchioness of Cholmondeley, David and Rose, who own the Norfolk estate.
