Deva Fest

Deva Fest

The North West’s Favourite Family Friendly Music Festival

31/08/2024

We have opened up our camping presale to EVERYONE from today and you can now access the ticket page without a password.

We'd loaded 1,000 tickets in at our last 2024 prices and they have all gone, so we have added another 500 to the box office.

Once those have gone we have to put the prices up as our costs next summer will be higher than this year.

You can choose to pay for any camping package (including Glamping) in instalments with a family of four able to stay and play in a tent in the Polo Fields for just £38.06 per month (including all booking and pitch fees paying a £66.20 deposit today - see website for full terms)

With so many new guests already booked for 2025 joining the hundreds who are returned again for next year we have noticed more and more comments asking for recommendations and advice

We have always had a group for guests to chat to each other before the festival, and we though it was right to give it a name to reflect what it really is - so we have renamed it Deva Fest Family

It is a closed group, but if you are a member you can automatically add others, or if you ask to join we will be as quick as we can to admit you

The organisers are in there along with others who have been to the festival before so it's a good place to ask for advice or even just to arrange to meet other like minded folks at the show

Wow! What a response to our camping pre sale!

Over a third of the entire number of campers we had for the whole of last year have booked TODAY since we launched tickets at midday.

The Deer Park campsite is nearly half full already.

Those numbers are insane!

We still have a small number of tickets left in the pre sale. We are likely to run out this evening and then prices will rise before we go back out on general sale over the weekend.

If you have already booked and have sent requests for carers tickets or a tweak to your booking we will be back to you tomorrow as we have been concentrating on getting as many people as possible booked in this afternoon.

Thank you so much for your support. We really genuinely do appreciate it.

You can select instalments on the box office - they are offered as a payment option. Deposits this year are per person, pitch or family ticket.

Smaller UK music festivals struggle to be heard in crowded market 28/08/2024

We need your support!

With 2025 tickets about to go on sale a timely reminder that running events in these times remains very challenging.

60 festivals this year have been postponed or cancelled, up from 36 last year, according to the Association of Independent Festivals (AIF). And since 2019, when there were 630 festivals across the country, 192 have disappeared.

We are an independent festival with passionate owners who care that you have a great time with us.

We’ve battled through covid, an enforced venue change, a cost of living crisis and all sorts of other fun challenges over the five years we have been with you.

We are here for the long run.

We’ve taken the decision to put out the first 2025 tickets out at the last 2024 prices to make things as affordable as we can for you, despite the fact that the festival is likely to cost us around 15pc more to run.

We’ve got big plans for 25.

If you’ve been following our journey jump in when tickets go on sale tomorrow.

Phil. Founder of Deva Fest.

Smaller UK music festivals struggle to be heard in crowded market This year’s wet summer saw many events axed, but rising costs and competition are a worry whatever the weather

Early Bird camping tickets for 2025 will be released at Midday on Thursday!

We are putting the finishing touches to our new website and booking platform which will live in time for the big launch.

The good news is that release prices will be HELD at our last 2024 levels and we are bringing back one category for 5-17 year olds (we had separate prices for teens and children in 24) priced at our last child pricing (means teen tickets are reduced).

Family bundles are back and installment payments will be available on the new platform allowing you to pay a deposit now and make low payments over the next 11 months!

We have had around 3,000 sign ups for this ticket release and will be password protecting our ticket pages to make sure that you can only access if you signed up with us as we expect our Early Bird pricing won't be around for long.

You can still sign up for the password here > https://shorturl.at/XXvSb
