Waldstock is an annual charity music festival held in the grounds of the Fighting Cocks Public House, Wendens Ambo, Essex.

The idea for Waldstock began after a previous event at the venue, organised by an independent third-party, was not given license to go ahead by the council in May 2010.

The first festival received an excellent response from local people, as the local press reported; "Hundreds of music lovers attended the two day Waldstock charity music festival...they were treated to some of the finest bands in the area, including Dennis Stratton & Tommy Dunn, Supercasino, Another Storm, Aliceband, This Way Up, and The Wrinklies."
