We want Valley Fest to be the best it can be. So we’ve made a few changes owing to some exciting opportunities and listening to your feedback…

A new fence: this will be like the steel shield they use at Glastonbury Festival.

Vantage points: these will be situated around the perimeter to increase security.

New security teams: we have doubled our investment so that everyone at the festival feels safe.

New car parking teams: we have employed specialist expertise to ensure your arrival and departure is smooth and swift as possible. Last year we were relying on volunteer stewards. This year, these teams are paid professionals. And we have more space for campervans, caravans and motorhomes.

Contactless payments: you’ll be able to pay for food, drinks and other goodies with a credit/debit card or your phone. Please note we won’t be accepting cash on site. And if you would still like your kids to have some spending independence, you will be able to purchase & top-up cashless wristbands at the Info Point. 

Weather Protection: More strategically-placed wood chips and more straw bales will be available to distribute should the weather turn.

A new area: the Back to Mine record label is taking over a stage. It will feature DJs such as Dave Lee (JN), DJ Paulette, Lottie, Black Hawks of Panama plus Mas Que Nada Bros. You’ll need to upgrade your ticket to access this area which has some enhanced facilities. Lovers of house, disco and funk – you’re in for a treat.
