Our story
Valley Fest began over twelve years ago as a traditional harvest festival on the organic Community Farm overlooking Chew Valley Lake near Bristol. It has since grown into the family-led food, music and wellness festival we all know and love today.
Set within the breathtaking landscape of Chew Valley Estate, Valley Fest is much more than a festival. It is a celebration of the land, the people who care for it and the communities that bring it to life. Rooted in a deep love of good food, independent culture, creativity and connection, it brings together farmers, makers, musicians, families and free spirits to celebrate everything that makes this place so special.
Our mantra has always been simple: people, place and planet. We believe that how we grow our food, care for our landscapes, support our communities and come together matters. From regenerative farming and organic producers to music, wellbeing and the arts, every part of Valley Fest reflects a belief that a better future can be built through shared experiences and collective action.
As we look ahead, our ambition reaches far beyond the festival itself. Working alongside the Chew Valley Estate and Forever Farm Foundation, we are building a living example of how culture, commerce, nature and community can thrive together. A place where regeneration is not simply talked about, but lived, experienced and celebrated.
We believe in good food, great music, wild ideas and a world where people and nature flourish together. That is the spirit of Valley Fest, and everyone is welcome.
Love, Team Valley
