Farmfestival 2012 details
Lineup and details for Farmfestival 2012 on Friday 27th July 2012
For the most up-to-date information about this event, please go here: Farmfestival Guide
After a small group of friends reacted to the slew of corporately backed, expensive and decidedly un-festival like events that began to dominate the English summer, in 2006 this group of chaps and ladies (that grew up in the area) decided to set up an alternative that would make you feel all warm inside. Farmfestival has organically grown from 400 to a 4000 capacity in the 6 years since it's inception.
Having previously been quoted as being one of the UK's best kept festival secrets, the cat is slowly being let out the bag. With a zero tolerance to sponsorship and branding, a lo-fi, DIY aesthetic, and a genre busting music policy combining to create a unique atmosphere. Set on an organic farm near Bruton in the heart of the beautiful Somerset countryside, Farmfestival provides a charmingly relaxed and child friendly experience by day and a cider & ale fuel party at night!
Don't forget to wear a hat, it's compulsory (and the best hat get's free tickets to next year's festival!).
Adult weekend tickets for Friday 27th & Saturday 28th July are priced at a double dip recession busting 40 English pounds. Including free camping and parking.
Profits made are donated to Practical Action, Somerset and Dorset Air Ambulance and The British Stammering Association.
DJ Vadim 2011 "I wish every weekend was Farmfest weekend! Becoming the UK's best kept festival secret."
Venue Magazine 2011 "This was the South Wests best kept secret for a while but now the cats out of the bag, largely due to its great music policy, down-to-earth but energetic atmosphere and community feel."
