Phil Marston, Founder of Deva Fest, said:

“We’re so excited Deva Fest is back at Cholmondeley Castle for 2024. After the huge success last year, we didn’t think we’d be able to top it, but we’re confident this is our best line-up yet.

“We’re delighted to have already sold thousands of tickets in our pre-sale and it’s great to see so many people will be returning to the festival for the fourth time. Deva Fest aims to bring you a festival that has top quality musicians and comedians, fantastic street food and drink from local vendors, and entertainment the whole family can enjoy together.

“Our free-to ride fairground is returning once again as is the Sailor’s Rest with a residency from popular Sea Shanty band Old Time Sailors, and there’s a wider range of ticket and payment options available to make the festival even more accessible to all.”

Deva Fest, now in its fourth year, is hosting the event for the second year at Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire. 2024 sees the introduction of the Family One ticket, providing families with one child a better discount on individual ticket prices.

Single night camping tickets, as well as day, weekend, and a range of camping options, are available to purchase, with guests being able to secure any package for £50 paying the balance off in instalments.
