Supplier shortlist & whitelist
Step one: register for the shortlist — free, two minutes. Step two, if you want it: join the whitelist and become a recognised supply partner with your own relationship manager — £69 a year.
Every day our inbox fills with amazing local businesses who want to trade, collaborate and make a statement at one of our events. Chefs, makers, bar brands, riggers, florists, bands, photographers, glamping outfits — and we read every one.
The honest problem is that when a brief lands, it needs answering in days, not months. So we procure from a shortlist: businesses who have told us what they do, what they charge and where they work. It is the first and often the only place we look. Running it this way keeps procurement fast and fair — and it lets us reward the businesses who back us, through the whitelist.
How it works
Register for the shortlist
Tell us who you are, what you offer and where you work. That puts you on the list we procure from, for every event the estate runs. When a brief matches what you do, we can find you. Takes two minutes, costs nothing.

Become a recognised Chew Valley Estate supply partner. Whitelist members get a designated relationship manager, first call on every brief before the wider shortlist, and briefs with dates and budgets sent straight to them. We work closely with every whitelist partner during procurement to make sure they get a satisfactory return on their membership.
Register, then joinOne list. A whole year of events.
The Chew Valley Estate runs a portfolio of events across the year, not one weekend in July. Both the shortlist and the whitelist cover all of them.
Three festivals a year
Valley Fest and two further festivals on the estate: food, music, families and 10,000+ people who care where things come from.
A calendar of weddings
Lakeside weddings through the season — caterers, florists, styling, bars, bands, photographers and marquees.
Private and corporate events
Away days, dinners, launches and celebrations hosted on the farm, each one procured from the list.
A three-month glamp site
Every summer the estate runs a glamp site as standard — bell tents, furnishing, cleaning, catering, wellness and activities.
