A festival near Yeovil has announced its return for 2026.

Home Farm Fest 19 is set to take place from Friday, June 12, to Sunday, June 14, at Home Farm, Chilthorne Domer.

The festival will feature live music, family entertainment, and food, all in support of the charity School in a Bag.

Home Farm Fest is the biggest annual fundraiser for School in a Bag, having raised more than £941,000 to help children access education.

The festival is run by a large team of volunteers who help with stewarding, bars, shops, tea tents, set-up, and take-down.

Performers also volunteer their time to create a "special" event.

Tickets are now on sale, with both weekender and day tickets available at homefarmfest.co.uk.

This year, the festival will feature nine stages, more than 150 bands, a circus, dance village, folk programming, rock and live music, a children's area, wild play, silent discos, kids' cinema, workshops, a wellness area, talks tent, casino-style entertainment, market stalls, and a variety of world food.

The festival will also have five bars, two tea tents, STEM activities, Yeovil Art Space’s art gallery, the Eyeful Tower, family challenges, and surprises across the site.

Home Farm Fest is more than a music festival, offering a full family experience with activities and entertainment for all ages.

The festival features a wide range of areas, including the Domer Stage, Dutch Barn, Folkroom, Dance Village, Juglans, Lloyd Lounge, and Avant Garde, ensuring there is something for everyone.

Whether festival-goers want to discover new artists, take part in family activities, or enjoy tea and cake, Home Farm Fest offers a variety of experiences.

Set at the charity's headquarters just outside Yeovil, Home Farm Fest combines grassroots music, community spirit, and fundraising impact.

All profits made by the festival's trading company are reinvested into School in a Bag’s charitable work.
