WHERE'S SVF SOUTH LOCATED?

Stone Valley Festival South is set in the picturesque site of:

Hillside Farm, Pepper Hill, Great Amwell, Ware, Hertfordshire, 
SG12 9RZ

SVF South's music is set in a large open grassed arena area, with great views of the stage from all over the site, including large video screens. Folding chairs, picnic blankets, etc,  are fine to bring, but we would politely ask that they're located further back, for safety reasons, as nearer to the front of the stage is where people stand closer together. 

Food & Drink

There'll be a large range of food traders so there'll be a new, bigger range of all kinds of food available right through the festival in 2025 at competitive prices, and a bigger range, including more healthy eating options. We'll be expanding the basr at the event, with separate Premium and Real Ale options. We'll have the same competitive drink prices and more bar staff to make sure you’re not queuing. We want you to have a great time without making a hole in your wallet!

Campers can bring personal food and drink onto the site for consumption by campers, in the camp site only.

You may bring limited food and soft drink into the music entertainment area, when you arrive, for personal consumption only. A small food picnic in a small bag or rucksack is allowed, (no large bags, holdalls or cool boxes), plus one 500ml plastic, sealed and previously unopened bottle of soft drink or water per person is permitted. However, your own alcohol may not be consumed in the designated entertainment area due to licensing restrictions. No glass or metal utensils are allowed anywhere on site due to Health & Safety restrictions.

Parking

There will be free on-site parking for non-campers on the main festival site that will be clearly signposted on the weekend. This will include a disabled parking area and all car parking will be a short stroll to the music arena area, across a flat, level site.

Security

There will be full 24 hour security on site throughout the weekend.

Information for our Disabled Guests

It is very important to the organisers, that we ensure that the event is accessible as possible, to everyone, and all aspects of accessibility are reviewed regularly, to ensure improvements can be made, where required, on an ongoing basis. This includes the availability of accessible disabled parking, wheelchair access, disabled toilets, and a wheelchair viewing platform for the main stage.

We strive to do all we can to make Stone Valley Festivals as accessible as possible. As with any outdoor event, weather conditions and uneven ground in parts, on a grassed site, need to be taken into consideration, when using a wheelchair or mobility scooter, and for wet weather conditions, suitable clothing, footwear, etc, is recommended.

There will also be a dedicated main stage viewing area for wheelchair users to view the event, though it does have a limited capacity and will be on a first come, first served basis, exclusively for wheelchair users and one companion.

To obtain access to these facilities, you will need to contact our team via the Contact Page to ask for an Accessibility Questionnaire which is used to help determine exactly which areas are needed to enhance your experience. 

Any person with additional needs who requires a free ticket for a carer or assistant, can email Stone Valley Festival via our Contact Page or at [email protected] where we will make provision for this directly.

VIP ARENA ENCLOSURE

There will be a larger, improved 2025 Arena VIP Enclosure, with:

  • An extra special area with an indoor seated area and private bar within a dressed, luxury marquee with heating to keep things extra toasty throughout and VIP 'posh' toilets.
  • A larger VIP bar with an increased drinks menu.
  • Throughout the day, DJs will keep you entertained with a break, in luxury, from the main stage.
