The Festival weekend includes live music for kids and adults, art and photographic exhibitions, the famous Fairford Festival Parade, stalls, games, family dog show, cooking and baking competitions, the hugely popular Fairford 10K and Family 3K Fun Run, and the brilliant Fairford Festival of Fiction.
Fairford Festival is organised each year by an amazing team of volunteers and relies solely on the generosity of local businesses to offer support and sponsorship. All surplus profit made from the weekend is donated to the Fairford Town Charity to help local community groups and individuals.
When was the last time you had photos of your family?
I really enjoyed this Fairford Festival more than most other years. Perhaps it was due to having 2 years without it, or maybe as it's been the first time I've caught up with many people in the community. Or it could just be because I now appreciate these things much more after the pandemic. For whatever reason, it was so lovely to capture so much fun being had!

The Family 3k Fun Run and Fairford 10k Road Race
We hired Pete (all the way from NY) to capture our 25th anniversary (in the Cotswolds) with our adult children, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! He was so easy to communicate with, albeit with different time zones, as well as currency exchange. From start to finish, he made the experience so enjoyable and stress-free. Pete was professional, friendly, and incredibly talented at making everyone relax in front of the camera! The photos turned out absolutely stunning—perfectly capturing the love, laughter, and joy of the day. We’ll cherish these memories forever, thanks Pete for your amazing work & the quick turnaround. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled photographer who truly cares about their clients and the moments they capture!!
We are absolutely delighted with our photos. The whole experience has been a joy. Peter captured beautiful shots that really tell the story of our family. Peter listened very carefully and was incredibly creative and didn’t miss a thing. He is very skilled and just seemed to know exactly how to get the shots without fuss. His skill in putting the album together and guiding us through the process of choosing shots was brilliant. Thank you so much. He has captured treasured memories. And we had lots of laughs along the way. I would highly recommend Peter.
We recently used Paredes Photography for a family shoot and were not disappointed. Pete was fantastic at making us feel at ease and getting some really natural shots. He was brilliant with my 2 teenagers, really getting their best sides! I would highly recommend him as the images we received were amazing.
Peter is absolutely outstanding at what he does. I won a photoshoot and am so glad I did. I took along my partner, two young boys, my two nans and my dog....well they say don't work with children and animals because they can be somewhat temperamental. This was true for my dog and youngest who didn't really want to participate however Peter took it all in his stride. He was patient and couldn't have been more accommodating to my requirements. My eldest took to the camera like a duck to water. I was so worried that when I went to view the photos that they would be top heavy of my eldest but this was far from the case. Sooo many beautiful memories captured of all the family and made it incredibly difficult to choose. My nans both walked in stating that they don't take a nice photo but even they were heard saying 'oh I don't look too bad in that one, oh that's a nice one of me' and trust me when I say they can be a tough crowd lol. There was no pressure at all to purchase anything but when the photos are as fantastic as they were I couldn't walk away with nothing. I would 100% recommend Paredes photography to anyone looking for a relaxed, enjoyable shoot to capture beautiful memories. I haven't yet finished paying off my photos so cannot add one, however when I can I will!
Peter was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process - from keeping us informed about booking, where to meet, what to wear etc to the actual shoot where he got beautiful pictures of our three children we will treasure forever. He made them all laugh and kept them happy and engaged on a cold day. The result is wonderful, I couldn't be happier. Thoroughly recommend!
Absolutely amazing, I would not hesitate to recommend! Not only did Peter make my teenager children completely relax and really enjoy the whole experience, he got my Nephew, who is only 6 months old, smiling and giggling, so the end product was absolutely perfect. Peter thank you, I cannot put into words how happy we are with our photos.
