Vale Press were pleased to be the printing partner for the Chipping Campden Open Gardens Weekend, which was held on Saturday, 21^st and Sunday, 22^nd June 2025.

The event opened up the historic and beautiful gardens all around Chipping Campden for visitors to admire.

Some of these gardens, “characterised by geometric designs and manicured hedges, showcase the town’s historic grandeur,” and remain a “cherished part of the town’s heritage, attracting visitors from near and far”.

Throughout the weekend, over £8,000 was raised for three really worthwhile, local charities: Campden Home Nursing, Campden Edge and Campden Information Centre

Vale Press printed the tickets, programmes and postcards for this event at no charge, helping to make such a wonderful event possible.

Thank you to Stephen Turner from the Open Gardens for his kind words:

“Vale Press is a true Cotswolds gem – a family-run printing group that’s been serving our community for over forty years with the finest quality, eco-friendly printing solutions. They really do print, package and deliver everything!

Vale Press are pleased to have sponsored the Broadway Arts Festival.

Broadway is roughly a mile or so from our factory in Willersey and we’re proud to have so many clients amongst it’s residents and business base and to print for many of the high-quality art galleries on Broadway’s High Street.

Vale Press undertook the printing for the 2025 Programme of the biennial Broadway Arts Festival, which took place this year between the 6^th and 15^th of June, with well over 50 events listed. These events ranged from Argentine Tango lessons and butterfly wire sculpting workshops to the Great Broadway Paint-Off, which saw contestants, both amateurs and professionals, compete to paint the best painting of Broadway throughout the course of a day. 

Whilst the festival has its roots in the village of Broadway, it continues to earn an enviable national reputation.

A bit like Vale Press!

Last summer we commissioned our long-standing friend and print customer (and newly-retired) Gary Beard to paint our “Field of Life”.

The meadow was bounteous with bright-yellow and very happy-looking buttercups.

A sight worth capturing.

There was, though, another reason for wishing to capture the image.

In the upper part of the field (just below the wooded area in the image above) we had over the previous two winters planted 3,000 trees including the almost complete re-planting of two hedgerows.

As these trees grow the landscape and our vista will, of course, change,

In years to come, we and future generations will be able to compare “then-and-now” landscapes as the field evolves as a habitat to more birds and wildlife with an increasing bio-diversity.

In our Vale Press ” Field of Life” a small grouping of Blackthorn (think sloes!) have self-planted from a nearby hedgerow and are growing naturally into a “spinney” or “thicket”.

Our team will nurture and encourage this growth over the next few years to provide a small dense area of natural protection for birds and wildlife.

And who knows .. future generations may even be picking the sloes for Sloe Gin!
