Home of the Drum is organised and curated by some of the founders and past directors of Audio Farm under a new vision and organisation.
Welcome to the pulsating heartbeat of Home of the Drum, an intimate family festival spanning three days and nights, featuring five stages of art, performers, an abundance of live musicians, DJs, theatrical shows, healing group workshops, a kids’ area, and a whole multitude of oddities. Home of the Drum brings together a diverse assembly of ages and backgrounds, as we all revel as one and celebrate the essence of life. All set within the historic grounds of The Workhouse, Llanfyllin, a Grade II Listed Building that resonates with character and history.
Each day, the entertainment, music, and workshops kick off at 10am, welcoming early risers and continuing until the early hours of the morning to cater to the nocturnal humans among you, as pulsating music, fire shows, and campfires blaze through the evening.
Set against the backdrop of the school holidays on the 26th to 29th of July, Home of the Drum is not merely a festival; it’s a gathering of colour and magic, mixed with an abundance of varied genres of music and some of the best festival performers and healers in the UK.
Finally, experience the grandeur of the Home of the Drum Theatrical Show. Set in a self-built mini amphitheatre, a symbolic Phoenix effigy shall blaze, symbolising a rebirth from past gatherings. This immersive spectacle features over 150 drummers, musicians, fire, and walkabout performers, crafting a 360-degree soundscape in a fiery display of theatrical brilliance.
Join us in this unforgettable celebration of rhythm and rebirth…
