Festival Creators
Eden Bridge Festival is being shaped by people who love God, have experienced His goodness, and aspire to see unity in the Church and revival in our communities.
We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and that His Holy Spirit is alive and active today.
Everyone is welcome — whether you're firmly rooted in church life, exploring faith for the first time, or somewhere in between. Come as you are and we hope you'll leave feeling uplifted, connected, and inspired.
Meet the people behind Eden Bridge…..

Kim Vale - Festival Lead
The churches I attended in London before relocating to Wiltshire are now playing a special role in helping our festival dreams become a reality. In particular, New Wine Church based in Woolwich has blessed us with the incredible Sound of New Wine music ministry team!
At the heart of Eden Bridge is a desire to bring people together - to create a space of joy, music, and community, with room to unwind, connect, and encounter God in a beautiful outdoor setting.
We want to raise our voices in worship across different churches and traditions, and extend a wide welcome to anyone who's curious about faith or searching for something more.

Partner with us in 2026
Join our new ‘church affiliates network’ A group formed of representatives from local churches who like the idea of local congregations coming together to praise God each summer. Join us for 3 engagement meetings (for a couple of hours) between February and the event in August. If you would like to represent your church please get in touch. It should be a lot of fun and I’m sure as we come together the blessings will abound.
Volunteer at the event - If you would like to volunteer to help at the event or be involved in some other way we would love for you to join the team - please get in touch. Check out the volunteering page to see some of the things we would love more help with. We’ll need to build teams and rotas for the various festival activities in 2026.
Join as a funder – through donations, grants, or other financial support (we now have both a bank account and a Stewardship account).
Pray for us – ongoing prayer support is always deeply appreciated.

Statement of Faith
Our core beliefs include:
• The Trinity – Belief in one God, existing in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit.
• Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour – Belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who was crucified, died, and rose again for the salvation of humanity.
• The Authority of Scripture – The Bible is regarded as the inspired Word of God and serves as the foundation for faith and practice.

• The Great Commission – Following Jesus’ command to spread the gospel and make disciples of all nations.
• Love, Grace, and Community – Upholding the values of love, grace, compassion, and service to others.
The festival seeks to express these beliefs through the following:
• Hosting an annual summer festival that brings together individuals and families from various Christian denominations, churches, and the wider community.
