Farmfestival started as a party for friends and has stayed that way 9 years on. We’re a festival that doesn’t believe in hype or inflated prices. What we do believe in is a genre-defying selection of music from emerging talents, cult heroes & local gems, inspiring arts activities, amazing charities and great local produce, set to a beautiful Somerset vista. Or to put it simply: good music, good causes, good times.
It’s the festival that we would want to go. We want great music from across the board, we want cool stuff to do when our ears need a rest, we want a relaxed atmosphere where everyone is welcome and we want to dance the night away and wake up to a hearty breakfast, sip on a thirst quenching local cider and start all over again. We want all these things at a price that is not extortionate, we want to enjoy them in a beautiful setting in glorious countryside and we want to donate money to good causes. Farmfest is all of these things and that’s why we made it.
In 2006, a small group of friends native to Somerset made the decision to host an intimate, cost-effective festival for their friends as an alternative to the events dominating the English summer. Farmfestival’s subsequent success has seen attendances grow organically through word of mouth, from an initial 400 to its capped 4500 capacity.
Year after year, loyal followers and newbies alike make their way down to its countryside home at Gilcombe Farm, Bruton, for the promise of wallet-friendly good times and cult bands and acts on the cusp of stardom, acts such as Friendly Fires, Ghostpoet, Art Brut, Egyptian Hip Hop and Submotion Orchestra, all of whom have played previously.
The festival remains adamantly sponsor-free, the lo-fi DIY aesthetic combining with the genre busting music policy to create the unique atmosphere. Previously quoted as one of the UK’s best kept festival secrets (Dj Vadim / Venue Mag), the cat is slowly being let out of the bag.
The festival celebrates its surroundings with the best local fare and organic Somerset ciders and ales. Families and kids are well catered for with their own camping space and plenty of activities to keep the little ones busy in the ever popular arts and crafts tent.
Adult weekend tickets for Friday 1st & Saturday 2nd August are rebelliously well priced at £53, including free camping and parking. With profits donated to charities Send a Cow, Somerset and Dorset Air Ambulance and The British Stammering Association, you can’t say fairer than that.
Oh, and don’t forget to wear a hat, it’s compulsory (and the best hats get free tickets to next year’s festival!).
