Voted 'Best British Blues Festival 2010' in the British Blues Awards, our festival is staged in a 40 acre setting on the Sussex Coastal plain a couple of miles south of Chichester. Blues on the Farm has a big reputation for presenting high quality muisic from World-class musicians, in a family friendly, safe and relaxed festival atmosphere. The festival is privately run so the primary objective is to stage high quality music from world-class musicians, in a warm and friendly festival atmosphere.
A couple of years ago the festival was featured in The Sunday Times who dubbed it “The friendliest festival in the UK”; while The Independent has also reported very favourably on the festival, highlighting in particular the “astounding precision” of the event’s organization!
