We’re all so excited to see you all on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th June 2026 at Mill Cottage, Goring where we’ll, once again, be celebrating the life and music of George Michael.

As always, the Outside25 team are working away in the background to make 2026 a very special couple of days in the garden of George’s former home.

But most importantly, we’ll all be there to raise money for various national and local charities.

2026 also marks a very special and meaningful moment—ten years since we lost George Michael. To honour his incredible life and legacy, we’d love everyone to join us in a simple but beautiful tribute: please wear a touch of purple, whether it’s clothing or just a small accessory. 💜 Together, we’ll fill the day with colour, love, and celebration in memory of George.

The following information will help you enjoy your day, and we will continue to update it as we approach the event.
