Blues Festival – Down on the Farm 2025
Friday 29 & Saturday 30 August 2025
The Blues Festival – Down on the Farm returned to Thornborough for a weekend of live blues music, relaxed atmosphere, and open-air festival setting.
Across two days, the event brought together a mix of stripped-back performances and full-band blues shows, covering everything from acoustic sets to high-energy electric blues. Set in Thornborough’s countryside venue, it offered a laid-back environment for blues fans to settle in and enjoy the music.
With food traders, licensed bars, camping, and plenty of space to relax, the festival continued its place as a popular end-of-summer fixture at Thornborough.
The Blues Festival returned in 2026 with a new weekend programme and line-up.
