Deva Fest took place on 8 -11 August in the stunning gardens of Cholmondeley Castle, the festival welcomed nearly 20,000 guests across the weekend who enjoyed a jam-packed lineup of music, comedy and entertainment.
This year’s festival was headlined by iconic musical acts The Coral, The Human League and Ocean Colour Scene who all took to the main stage and delivered unforgettable performances to the festival’s biggest ever crowds.
100’s of acts performed across the festival’s 5 stages over the 4 days, seeing everything from standup comedy, local choirs and a pitstop from Eastenders Shaun Williamson who brought his popular Barrioke show on Sunday, which saw him duet with festival attendees on some karaoke classics.
Festival-goers also indulged in a variety of culinary delights with food stalls once again led by Chester business Artezzan, whilst the 4 bars were manned by the team at iKO.
Their offerings, which included a mix of gourmet street food and drinks including craft beer courtesy of Vocation Brewery, Brothers Cider and ThinK Wine , were a hit among attendees, with sell outs across the board.
Deva Fest organiser, Phil Marston said:
“We are absolutely thrilled with how Deva Fest 2024 has turned out and the feedback we received so far. The atmosphere was electric and it was wonderful to see so many families, friends and festival lovers coming together to enjoy everything we had on offer.
“Each year, our goal is to create a festival that not only showcases top talent but also fosters a real sense of community and I think we’ve truly achieved that. We’re already looking ahead to 2025 and we can’t wait to announce what we’ve got in store.”
