2019 sees the 10th edition of this gem of a festival. Starting out in 2010, with mainly folk music at its core, since this enormously successful first year, this festival has continued to be extremely popular, but has stayed entirely faithful to its origins, offering mainly folk and acoustic based music and not growing too much in size. This grassroots festival had humble beginnings, with founder, Joshua Sanger, approaching a local farmer as a first step towards fulfilling his dream of running his own festival. The rest is history and what an auspicious history Barn on the Farm has already enjoyed.
With a strong emphasis on intimacy and atmosphere, expect a cheerful, friendly crowd to enjoy this festival with. What is more, it has earned itself the reputation as somewhere to catch the next big names in the world of music, so with Barn on the Farm, small certainly does not mean you'll in any way have to compromise on the quality of the acts. There is also a wide range of local produce on offer at this festival, such as ales, ciders, wines and food stalls.
