Valley Fest is the best-tasting music festival in the South West and showcases the region's finest produce - from charcuterie to cheddars, ciders to sausages.

The event will be held from August 2-4 amid the stunning backdrop of Chew Valley Lake.

Spread across a gently-sloping meadow, the event is perfect for food lovers, first-time festival goers and both young and maturing families.

This year will see DJ sets from Basement Jaxx and Leftfield as well as performances from Razorlight and Tom Odell.

The Magic Numbers, Stealing Sheep and Norman Jay will also be performing.

On top of the music and delicious food, there is a packed programme of workshops and talks, ranging from sessions on body confidence and clean beauty to talks from wildlife filmmakers of Netflix's Our Planet.

Now in its sixth year, the festival celebrates the ethos of its founder Luke Hasell who created the event in memory of his parents who died young but knew a thing or two about enjoying life.

Valley Fest will be held by Chew Valley Lake from August 2-4.

The gates will open at noon on the first day with the festival field opening at 2pm. The event will be open from 8am-9pm on August 3-4.

Tickets, priced £5.40-145, are available online at www.valleyfest.co.uk
