Mill Farm Party
The annual flagship party in the Mill Farm music calendar returns it's sixth time in 2024! We sold out our vibrant little festival last year and this year looks to be another beautiful music day.
Join us for more good vibes at this family friendly one-day music festival. We are a small boutique festival and run a small number of live dates through the summer. The Mill Farm Party is held on the outdoor stage in our party field. A small festival with a big heart and the perfect event for whole family to enjoy - there is plenty to keep everyone happy!
We have curated an amazing line up of acts to perform on the our stage. Reg Meuross, The Clean Up, Hello Hopeville, Wanderbird, The Puffins, The Psychodahlias, and of course...Mill Farm house band extraordinaire, The Ducks, playing lively tunes from the last 50 years, with a special twist!
For those who attended our recent Folk Festival, expect family fun and activities for all the family to enjoy. The small but mighty Mill Farm Bar returns to serve a wonderful selection of drinks from Gritchie Brewing Co, Twisted Cider, Cerne Abbas Brewery and some great wines and spirits as well as an extensive selection of non-alcoholic beers/ciders/ales as well as soft drinks. We will have some lovely stalls surrounding our festival stages for you to peruse throughout your day to make the day even more special. As in previous years, the bouncy castle and assault course will be back in action. Plus face painting, and loads more!

Reg Meuross
Reg’s clever and imaginative lyrics have earned him the title of “MasterStoryteller” (PennyBlack Music) and led Mike Harding (Mike Harding Folk Show) to introduce him onto the stage of The Royal Albert Hall as “one of the finest singer-songwriters this country has produced”.
The Clean Up
A dynamic funk and soul band originating from Bristol. With infectious grooves, soulful vocals, and a tight rhythm section, they deliver electrifying performances that keep audiences dancing all night long.
The Ducks
The Mill Farm house band, The Ducks, return to the stage with their lively folk-style songs from the last 50 years with a special twist!
Hello Hopeville
An Americana & Country Blues band based in and around Frome, Somerset. Formed six years ago by Lisa (the girl in the band) who had a passion for Americana music. Her vision was to take some of the songs that she had grown up listening to and give them a new lease of life.
The Wanderbird
Born alongside the Mississippi River and raised in the Ozark Mountains of southeast Missouri - a true songwriter, storyteller and devoted rambler. The Wanderbird sips from a deep well of Country, Folk, Gospel & Rural Blues while taking listeners on a journey through the backwaters and blue collars of the people and places he's been.
The Puffins
Four piece band specialising in Rock infused with Reggae, Funk, and Dub. Our mission is to make our audience dance to our original songs. Live we may chuck in a few left field covers!
