Our story

The Stedfest began as a heartfelt tribute to James Stedeford, aiming to keep his memory alive while making a tangible difference. Every year, we will gather to celebrate his spirit through music and togetherness, all while raising crucial funds for the British Liver Trust. It's more than just a gathering; it's a friends & family event with a cause.

Our mission

Our mission is twofold: to honour James Stedeford’s legacy by creating a fun, friendly and memorable event, and to significantly contribute to the British Liver Trust’s vital work. Through our togetherness, we strive to raise awareness and funds for liver disease research and patient support, ensuring James's impact continues to grow.

We will never let the legend of James leave us, so let's honor him, his spirit and the love he gave to us all in true James style.
