The Story of BiertonFest
BiertonFest was created with one simple idea... to bring our village together for a fantastic day of live music, food, drink and community spirit.
Inspired by the success of recent local events and the amazing sense of togetherness within Bierton, the vision is to establish a flagship annual festival that people of all ages can enjoy year after year.
More than just a festival, BiertonFest is about celebrating everything that makes our village special! Friendship, community and creating memories together in the heart of Bierton.
