The Woolfire Festival was an annual music festival held since 2005 on a former sheep farm in Woodmancott, Hampshire, England.

Woolfire was said to be a 'vibrant open air festival where you can let your hair down and discover some groundbreaking new music'. Audiences were invited to escape into the site's lush parkland, where dynamic live performances were to meet dazzling visuals and décor, for an unmissable weekend of entertainment.
The first licensed Woolfire Festival was held 13–15 July 2007, following two private parties of a similar nature on the site in previous years.
Its primary organisers were Charlie Albin and Corin Evans-Pritchard, who met at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in Liverpool, overseeing a small team of amateur and professional sound engineers, lighting technicians and other crew.
Woolfire Festival 2009 & beyond
In 2009 the festival was scheduled for the weekend of 14 August, however on 18 June the festival organisers sent an e-mail to ticket-holders informing them that the festival had been cancelled, citing financial difficulties amid the global economic situation. No further events have been announced or held since. In September 2010 a notice was placed on the Woolfire website stating that the festival was on permanent hiatus and that no future events are planned.
