Dellfest | A family festival in Hampshire's Meon Valley

Our much-loved family festival returns to The Dell on the 17th & 18th July for another unforgettable summer weekend in the heart of the Meon Valley.

Each summer, Dellfest brings together relaxed countryside atmosphere, exceptional festi-food, and uplifting live music for a weekend designed for all ages. It’s a celebration of long golden evenings, children running barefoot on the grass, wood-fired pizza shared between friends, and live music echoing across open skies.

If you’re searching for a Hampshire summer festival that feels personal, playful and full of heart – welcome!

Dellfest - food and drink

There's something for everyone!

Dellfest has quietly become one of the most anticipated family-friendly festivals in Hampshire, because we’ve shaped it carefully. It’s a festival for:

 

  • Wild little dancers and snack negotiators
  • Grown-ups who like their music loud but their atmosphere relaxed
  • Families who want space to breathe
  • Friends who want an excuse to gather outdoors

Daytimes are light, lively and full of movement. There’s space to roam, sprawl, bump into neighbours and make new friends.

 

As the day rolls on, the mood gently shifts – the light softens, the music builds, and the whole field begins to hum.

 

This is a Meon Valley festival done the Dell way – thoughtful, generous, and rooted in the countryside that surrounds us.

Live music under open skies

As the sun begins its slow descent over the Hampshire hills, Dellfest steps into its evening rhythm.

Live music takes centre stage — joyful, danceable, goosebump-worthy. The kind of soundtrack that carries across the field and finds you whether you’re near the stage or halfway through another slice of pizza.

If you’ve been looking for live music in Hampshire this summer, Dellfest offers something different: big energy, without the overwhelm. Intimate, but electric. A celebration rather than a spectacle.

It’s not about headliners you’ve seen on posters before. It’s about the feeling in the air when the whole field moves together.

Food is at the heart of it

Dellfest is, at its core, a Hampshire food and music festival.

Our wood-fired pizzas will be front and centre — blistered crusts, fresh toppings, the smell drifting across the field long before you reach the oven.

Alongside them, a handpicked line-up of brilliant food trucks will bring flavour, colour and variety to the weekend. Expect crowd favourites, family-friendly options, and plates worth lingering over.

This isn’t rushed festival eating, it’s slow, shared, and slightly indulgent.

Find your people, a table (or a patch of grass), pour something cold and stay a while.
