Vale Earth Fair Festival

About Me


VENUE - The Vale Castle, Guernsey, Channel Islands:
This one-day festival takes place within and around the walls of the ruin of this 19th century castle. Situated on a coastal hill overlooking the other Channel Islands of Herm & Sark, the venue holds a capacity of c4,000 (approx 2,500 within the main walls).

BACKGROUND: We have been holding the Vale Earth Fair festival here on and off since 1976. Up until 1992 the festival generally only featured local talent on one stage but has expanded over the years and now brings in acts (signed and unsigned) from the UK and Europe with music spread across 5 separate stages.
ENTERTAINMENT: The emphasis of the event has always been on live music, of whatever genre, which is the focus of the Main Stage, Free Soundstage and small Acoustic Stage (the latter 2 stages are situated on the outside of the castle). There is also both a Dance Tent and a Breaks & Beats Tent featuring DJs and MCs performing throughout the day. Around the site there are also stalls from local environmental/human rights groups, a Licensed Bar, Vegetarian Food, a Chillout Tent and Children’s play area. The entertainment runs from midday to midnight.
