About us

StanFest is a proud community festival run by eight local volunteers who are passionate about bringing people together.

What began as a one-off live music event to celebrate the King's Coronation in 2023 quickly became something much bigger. After the overwhelming success of that first event, and with so many villagers asking for it to return, StanFest was born.

Today, StanFest has become a much-loved annual event, welcoming hundreds of people from Stanton under Bardon and the surrounding area for an afternoon of live music, family entertainment, delicious food and drink, and a fantastic community atmosphere.

Everything you see at StanFest is organised by volunteers who give up their evenings, weekends and spare time throughout the year because they believe in the power of community. Our aim is simple: to create an inclusive, welcoming event where people of all ages can come together, make memories and celebrate everything that's great about village life.

Whether you're a local resident, a returning visitor or discovering StanFest for the first time, we'd love to welcome you.

StanFest is more than just a festival – it's a celebration of community, created by the community, for the community.
