On your doorstep, hidden away in the Surrey Hills lies WeyFest, a premium boutique-style festival. Promising something for all the family since 2007, WeyFest is a 3 day festival from Friday 15th to Sunday 18th August 2024, available with or without the camping experience. Hosted on a beautiful camp site with wonderful hot showers and great sound quality from the 4 stages, the festival is set in 10 acres of stunning woodland of the Rural Life Museum – home to 40,000 fascinating artefacts of country life. There’s plenty to entertain all ages, quite apart from the fabulous music!
A music festival without mud…
Weyfest is said to be more like a mini-holiday than a music festival. Set in the outstanding natural beauty of the Surrey Hills at The Rural Life Museum, the festival offers over 30 hours of the finest music, camping, posh loos, friendly staff and plenty to occupy the kids with – you won’t be short of choice! Main attractions include music, drama and creative arts workshops, train rides and the many attractions offered by the open-air museum, the venue itself.
You can stretch out your picnic rugs or wander around the site to the 4 stages with your camping chairs. Sit and watch your favourite band or discover new artists from the eclectic mix on offer, or just find a quiet spot to watch the world go by.
The festival attracts new people every year – many of whom have not been to a festival for years for fear of mud and rude or drunken behaviour (there’s none of that!) and many who have never even been to a music festival before! Most have made new friends and now return each year for a reunion.
The venue itself is also a major reason for Weyfest’s increasing popularity. The Rural Life Museum is a working museum, littered with artefacts of past country life and craft displays throughout the venue. It might be the only festival in the world with a working light railway, running both steam and diesel trains around the perimeter of the venue! Because the venue is so compact, everything is within easy reach. No trudging for miles from the car park or campsite, no long walks between stages … and no major journey to reach the excellent food and bars!
