If you’re feeling the post-Glastonbury blues, don’t worry – the “most beautiful festival in the UK” is on the horizon, and tickets are still available.
Valley Fest, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, has earned accolades for its breathtaking setting, being dubbed the “best view of any UK festival” by social media fans.
This enchanting festival takes place at Chew Valley Lake, a picturesque reservoir in Somerset and the fifth largest lake in the country. Adding a touch of history, the lake was inaugurated by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 1956.

From August 1st to 4th, festival-goers can enjoy a star-studded lineup featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Tinie Tempah, The Feeling, and Sister Sledge with Kathy Sledge.
For those who love to dance, DJ sets from Phil Hartnol, Mungo’s Hi-fi, Chainska Brassika, and Supalung will keep the energy high throughout the night.
Valley Fest also offers a variety of daytime activities, including comedy shows and cooking classes led by celebrated chef Romy Gill MBE, alongside a diverse selection of street food vendors.
There’s even a Junior Jungle mini rave to introduce kids to the festival atmosphere early on.
Founded in 2014 by regenerative and organic farmer Luke Hasell in honor of his parents, Valley Fest has grown into a beloved event.
“Eclectic as ever – from pop to rock, disco to DJs and everything in between, everyone needs to get on my land and celebrate our big birthday,”
he said. “Packed with wholesome fun, families – you’ll find something for your toddlers, teens, parents, and grandparents.”
As the sun sets over the lake, the stunning scenery of green trees and fields unfolds, creating a magical backdrop. An Instagram post capturing this view has garnered hundreds of likes, with comments expressing excitement.
Matt wrote, “Can’t wait, the most beautiful festival in the UK by far,”
while another user added, “Looking good.”
Chef James Golding also commented, “Can’t wait.”
Beyond the festivities, Luke Hasell has raised over £70,000 for charity and partnered with Yeo Valley and the art collective Arcadia, both former Glastonbury supporters.
This year, he aims to include an educational element with talks on regenerative farming, land and soil care demonstrations, and welding workshops for all ages.
Arcadia’s Alchemist Playground will offer unique opportunities to create and build using recycled military materials.
As night falls, a Rolls Royce jet engine known as an ‘Afterburner’ will light up the festival with flames and cutting-edge performances, including the electrifying ‘Lord of Lightning’ act.
Valley Fest promises a unique experience, and for those looking to explore further, both Bristol and Bath are just nine miles away. Tickets are priced at £154.99 plus the booking fee.
