A day-long gathering where growers, chefs, festival creators and land stewards come together to explore how food, farming and culture can regenerate the land. If you care about where your food comes from and how we farm sustainably, this is your people.

Wake the Valley runs all day on 30 July 2026, kicking off at 9am and running through to late evening. Expect a mix of talks, demonstrations and discussions bringing together the farming and food communities with festival organisers and environmental stewards. The focus is on regenerative agriculture and land management—practical, conversational, and rooted in real experience.
The vibe
This feels less like a traditional conference and more like a working session with genuinely interesting people. You'll move between outdoor spaces and indoor settings, picking up techniques and ideas from practitioners who've actually done this work. It's collaborative rather than lecture-heavy, with plenty of opportunity to chat with growers about soil health, chefs about seasonal menus, and organisers about what festivals can do for rural communities.
Getting tickets
Ticket details and pricing will be available through the Skiddle website. Day passes are typical for events like this, though early-bird rates often apply if you book in advance. Keep an eye on the event page for any group discounts or special offers.
