LeeFest is a music festival that takes place each Summer in Kent. The festival began in founder Lee Denny's garden when his parents went away on holiday in 2006. Despite the festival's small scale in its first two years, by 2011 LeeFest grew into a two-day event with enough capacity for 2,000 people. The capacity of the event now reaches the mark of 4,500+ and in 2016 plans are in place to move to a new site. Around 200 volunteers help out during the festival.
The festival has won two awards and been nominated for several more. Awards include: 'Best Independent Festival' at AIM Independent Music Awards, 2012 and 'Best Grass Roots Festival' at the UK Festival Awards 2009.
This year LeeFest is celebrating its 10th year.
