Welcome to Whaley Fest! Whaley Bridges' very own Micro-festival – a joyful celebration of community, local musicians, small businesses, and countryside charm!
Back for our second year — and sporting a brand‑new look — the festival formerly known as Whaley Summer Festival returns bigger, bolder, and better than ever. Get ready for an unforgettable celebration that takes everything you loved last year and turns it up a notch.
Set on a beautiful animal‑rescue smallholding with stunning views, this non‑profit micro-festival - ran by local residents - brings together everything we love about life in Whaley Bridge. Every ticket helps support local businesses, charities, and the continuation of the event for years to come.
Expect a day packed with feel‑good fun, including:
Live bands and DJ's playing throughout the day
Beer tents serving wine, spirits and Buxton Brewery larger & ales
Local food vendors serving a variety of delicious food
Sheep feeding sessions and meet‑the‑animals moments
Stalls from brilliant local makers and businesses
Holistic Healing Tent by High Peak Healing
Graffiti wall with local artist Imogen Ford
Workshop Tent with a variety of activities including 80s‑inspired Aerobics, bug‑hotel building for kids and Shamanic Drumming
And so much more!
Whether you’re here for the music, the animals, the shopping, or simply to soak up the atmosphere with friends and neighbours, Whaley Fest is all about bringing our community together in the most uplifting way.
Come along, join in, and help us make something truly special for Whaley Bridge
