The ValeFest, previously known as The Vale Festival, is a unique charitable summer music and arts festival that takes place on the campus of University of Birmingham, in Birmingham, England now going into its 12th year. Unlike other music festivals, unusually it is planned, organised and largely staffed by volunteer students - it is believed to be the largest solely student-organised event in the UK. Every year it is held the day after exams finish and all proceeds go towards charities selected earlier in the academic year. The beginning of each year sees the nomination and selection of charities that each year would raise money for, from student depression and adolescent mental health, to general poverty causes. Generally several stages are organised on the day, as well as comedy and performance tents, society events and workshops and an after party. == 2005 ==
With the aim of both raising money and awareness for AIDS-related causes and addressing a death in live music on campus, the Birmingham University Stop AIDS Society attempted to arrange a large festival at the Guild Building. The Guild of Students pulled out, deeming the event unfeasible. Simultaneously a much larger event was being planned on University (rather than guild) property: The Vale Festival. The Vale Festival team, an independent group of students and the Student Stop Aids committee joined forces. Local bands, student societies and the large team of volunteer organisers worked to make the event, held in the Vale student village, a substantial success. The chosen focus was the crisis in Sudan. £12,000 was raised, and the event was widely viewed as a major success.
