Dear FriendsWelcome to the Summer Season at The Farm.

The Farm is filled with music throughout the season. Our brand new Summer Sessions feature music from local and internationally touring acts. You can catch them this June, July and August. Perfectly packaged one day music festivals that don’t require tents or wellies to attend.

Aloha! The Beach is back and this year with a Hawaiian Elvis theme. Join us throughout August for relaxing times in the shade of the palm trees while the little ones play in the sand.

Reserve a front row seat at the opera, ballet or London theatre with our Event Cinema programme which this season includes works direct from Glyndebourne, plays from the RSC such as The Merchant of Venice and

the return of the ever popular André Rieu.

Launched last season, our sociable evening classes The Norden Farm Night School have an exciting new addition in the form of Friday Night Flamenco. This exhilarating, foot stomping dance form is a perfect way to kick start the weekend.

As comedians prepare for the Edinburgh festival, we’re delighted to present previews of their shows. Catch established names like Rob Beckett or very up and coming acts like Lucy Beaumont, before they depart for chillier Scottish climes in August.
