At Burley Food, Art and Drinks Festival, local producers come together and giveback to the Burley community, along with visitors to the village… providing a rare opportunity to experience the tastes, culture, artistry and activities found in this most unique of locations.

Across the weekend of August 24th and 25th, a wide range of produce will be available to enjoy from local suppliers. The beautiful deer park in which we are situated will be transformed by stalls overflowing with local cheeses, meats, artisan breads, and many more exciting flavours and products – to make your mouth water at the thought!

If gin or artisan ales are your tipple, then you will be in the right place as many drink producers are bringing samples for you to taste and savour at home. Champagne, Shandy, locally pressed cider, cocktail competitions, showcases from well known mixologists and gin workshops are some of the sparkling elements planned for this year’s event.

Burley Festival offers you and the family a chance to press pause, sit, eat, drink, enjoy some cultural art and listen to some great local bands. Surely this is the perfect way to enjoy your August bank holiday weekend – at a fabulous, tasty, new and free festival in the forest.

Around the village the festival is looking to hold a range of activities, such as a window display. trails and competitions for children, working artists in local gardens and hopefully, a pop-up art-in-situ shop. The Festival wishes to enhance people’s experience of Burley by encouraging people to visit shops and businesses, partaking in all the forest has to offer.

Local artists will be showcasing over the weekend in a lovely marquee, and have organised workshops that can be booked for children and adults looking to expand their artistic skills. The Little Craft Shack (curators of the arts and crafts for our festival), also supply local stores and hotels with a tailored gift range for customers & guests.

Then in addition to all of the above, the incredible ‘Pete Harris Blues Band’ and ‘The Vinyl Beats’ will be performing along with many other musicians, giving life and energy to the festival throughout.
