'''Hawkfest''' is three-day outdoor weekend festival organised and centered on [Hawkwind](/source/Hawkwind). The event is open only to members of their fanclub and is limited to around 1000 attendees.

The stated intention is to recreate the atmosphere of festivals of old, as an alternative to the currently heavily commercialised events, and to make the whole event as family-friendly as possible with side attractions and workshops. Hawkfest was proposed by [Dave Brock](/source/Dave_Brock) as a "realist" alternative to the free festival culture of the 1960s.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Egan |first=Vincent |date=October 2007 |title=The Saga of Hawkwind.
