Redfest is an annual music festival at Robins Cook Farm outside Redhill, Surrey, England.

It was established in 2008 as a small (5,000 capacity) independent music festival geared toward youth, with over 70% of its attenders in 2008 expected to be under 17, and promised to be a lot safer than its competitors such as GuilFest and Reading. It also incorporated a no tolerance approach, with offending attenders perhaps being refused entry and being refunded.

The 2008 festival was scheduled for 4-5th July with a lineup including Patrick Wolf, The Maccabees, Crystal Castles, Los Campesinos! and Johnny Foreigner, but was canceled in early June due to poor ticket sales.
