Valley Fest to be going ahead in July 2021

By Safiya Bashir  Wednesday Jun 16, 2021

Good news for all fans of Valley Fest, which has announced that this year it will be going ahead from July 29 – August 1.

After a touch-and-go year, organisers of the festival held near Chew Valley lake have said that the weekend will carry on as planned thanks to a four-week delay, expanded vaccination programme and plans for restrictions to lift.

This year will see headliners such as Texas, Deacon Blue and Sophie Ellis-Bextor – as well as a range of culinary stars who will be offering a weekend of the region’s finest produce: from charcuterie to cheddars and ciders to sausages.

“It’s going to be close but we’ve come this far, and if safe and possible, we are utterly committed to having everyone back in the field this summer,” said Luke Hasell, founder of Valley Fest.

“We expect a Government announcement a week before July 19th to confirm restrictions are being lifted. At this point, we will give you a full and final confirmation that the event can go ahead.”

The festival will be taking place in a large meadow close to Chew Valley and is busy ensuring that the festival will go ahead whilst adhering to government guidelines.
