Staffs Fest Description
Staffs Fest brings together the best of local music in Staffordshire with top acts from around the UK.
Staffs Fest is a professionally run Live Music Festival catering for the whole family. We showcase great bands of all genres, from Rock and Blues, Reggae and Soul, Indie and Acoustic, all bundled together to create an amazing weekend!
Staffs Fest keeps on expanding each year!
Staffs Fest runs on the May Bank Holiday (Friday to Sunday) and is one of the best value for money festivals around. All tickets included free camping at the site!
Under 16s are free entry (with an accompanying adult).
Staffs Fest is very much a family festival with outstanding live music, high production value on stage with expert lighting and sound and not forgetting the amazing setting that is Lower Drayton Farm, between Stafford and Penkridge.
We are a festival that does our best to support local business, the local music scene, and spread positive vibes to all those who attend! Many of the services you find onsite from the toilets to the lighting towers are all sourced locally. We want to showcase how great Staffordshire is and what better place than a festival on a working farm.
Where can you stay?
Camping is available for all ticket holders to Staffs Fest. Please check on the ticket for information on when you can arrive at the site. So bring along your tent, camper-van or caravan (basic site so not electric hook ups- sorry) and stay over to enjoy the festival in it's entirety, across the whole weekend!
The campsite has:
- On site toilets and wash rooms!
- Small shower facilities!
- Easy access to Stafford and Penkridge for amenities!
- Designated dog walking area!
Please note:
For health and safety reasons we cannot allow any open fires on the campsite. However, feel free to spark up the BBQ, just remember to save some for us!
Alcohol is permitted in the campsite but cannot be taken into the arena.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY GLASS BOTTLES. ONLY CANS AND PLASTIC CONTAINERS ARE ALLOWED ON THE SITE.
The bar in the arena is well stocked will all major brands and caters for all tastes.
We ask all ticket holders to take care around the entire site. Lower Drayton Farm is an active and working unit so heavy machinery maybe coming down the tracks, also because the festival is situated in a field you may find some of the areas of the ground uneven. We will light the main route from the arena but we cannot light the whole campsite so as to not disturb happy campers. So we recommend you bring a torch.
Many Thanks, and if you require any further information, or have any questions, please drop us a message!

BOBBY KP WOODS Sings RAY CHARLES (Support from Birmingham songstress Kezia Soul)
... I come from a Gospel background, and grew up singing in Sunday school songs like "Yes Jesus Loves Me" and "He's Got The Whole World In His Hands", On meeting him I told him how I came to know and love his music via my uncle who was a massive fan. He was very impressed and encouraged me to keep singing straight from the heart because that is where all the lyrical inspiration comes from.
Sincere thanks for your support with my tribute to one of the greatest musicians ever; the great Ray Charles.
TICKETS: General Admission (NO BOOKING FEE) @ £17.50 (2 x Tickets)

After our inaugural Staffs Fest Soul All dayer in May 2018 we have upped the game for 2019 and we will be introducing a Soul Weekender as part of Staffs Fest. Housed in its own marquee, DJs from the local area and further afield will keep those tunes playing on the turntables to give you the best of Northern Soul music with various twists and turns along the way We have a great core organising team involved this year . So make sure you place the date in your diary
Camping is included in all tickets and access to the main stage marquee which will house Rock, Brit Pop, Soul and Pop and the Reggae Rockz Marquee with a host of reggae, soul, jazz, ska plus workshops

For the third year running, this fantastic event has been successfully executed and enjoyed by everyone - well done StaffFest Team. The atmosphere is friendly, warm, inviting and family orientated; music of outstanding quality with opportunities for younger musicians to gain valuable exposure both to the public and on air - the event is supported by Cannock Chase Radio. Met some wonderful stall holders offering varied and exciting products, services and memorabilia. Bring on next year - tickets on sale for 2018 already, camping available so get in there........ and I'll see you there <3
