Deva Fest has been named Best Event or Festival at the prestigious Marketing Cheshire Tourism Awards. The awards are a celebration of Cheshire’s visitor economy, and Deva Fest's recognition highlights its incredible contribution to Cheshire's vibrant tourism scene.

Now in its fifth year, Deva Fest continues to captivate audiences with its lively blend of live music, free family entertainment, and exceptional food and drink experiences. Held in the breathtaking grounds of Cholmondeley Castle, the festival will return in 2025 from 7th to 10th August, featuring an impressive line-up including Gloria Gaynor, The Fratellis, Happy Mondays, Matt Goss, and Sigala.

The judges praised Deva Fest as "a fantastic event, with a team clearly passionate about creating a nationally/internationally recognised music festival." The award not only celebrates Deva Fest's remarkable achievements but also secures its place in the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence, where it will compete on a national stage.

Trevor Brocklebank, Chair of Marketing Cheshire, said: "Every year the standard of entries is incredible. Cheshire is blessed with businesses and individuals who work tirelessly to ensure the region’s tourism offering continues to be globally renowned, generating billions for our economy and attracting millions of visitors every year across Cheshire West and Chester, Cheshire East and Warrington."

Festival Director Phil Marston said: "We are absolutely thrilled to receive this incredible recognition from Marketing Cheshire. Winning the Best Event or Festival award is a testament to our hardworking team, dedicated volunteers, and the amazing support we've received from our attendees and the local community. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back in 2025 for what promises to be our biggest and best event yet."

With demand at an all-time high and the Deer Park campsite now sold out, festival goers are urged to secure their tickets soon to avoid disappointment.
