Elderflower Fields was born in 2012 out of a desire to create a new festival designed especially for families and kids. In our first year we really didn’t know what to expect. Planning a party for a few friends, our plans snowballed, and before we knew it, we had sold over a thousand tickets. The sun shone, kids ran free, and we danced in the beautiful surroundings of the Bentley estate.

It was so popular we did it again in 2013 and this time twice as many people came – largely encouraged through word of mouth from the previous year’s customers. We had more kids’ activities, more music and more delicious local food & drink.

In 2014 we moved to a new venue, Pippingford Park. It’s beautiful, hilly and wild, and it has become a great home to us over the years.

We intentionally keep Elderflower Fields small – it’s part of what makes it such a safe and special weekend for families. What we strive to increase each year is the quantity and quality of the activities and performances, so that there’s always something new and exciting for guests.
