If you've been searching for a festival that takes its food as seriously as its music, Valley Fest is your answer. Set on a working farm with views across Chew Valley Lake, this is the South West's answer to the question: what if a music festival actually fed you properly?

Valley Fest runs from 30 July to 2 August 2026 at The Community Farm in Chew Magna, just south of Bristol. Expect live music across the weekend, paired with organic food and top chefs working on-site. This is a proper multi-day camping festival with a farm-to-table philosophy built into its DNA.
The vibe
Think less muddy field, more countryside retreat. The lakeside setting keeps things scenic, and the emphasis on sourced, quality food means festival food won't be an afterthought. You're looking at a crowd who care about where things come from — both the music and the meals. It's the sort of weekend where you'll chat to people about the headline set one moment and whose farm those vegetables came from the next.
Getting tickets
Full details on ticket pricing and availability should be confirmed closer to the event. Check the official channels for weekend passes, day tickets, and any camping packages bundled in. Early-bird discounts typically shift fast for festivals like this, so sign up for alerts if you're serious about going.
Where to stay
The festival is designed as a camping event, so most visitors will pitch up on-site. We've picked a selection of nearby hotels and guest accommodation within easy reach of Chew Magna if you'd rather skip the tent—they're listed below.
Getting there
Chew Magna sits between Bristol and Bath. From Bristol Temple Meads, you're looking at a short drive or taxi to the farm. If you're driving from London, it's roughly two hours via the M4 and M5. Bath is equally close if you're heading south. Parking details will be confirmed with ticket information.
