Blues on the Farm
The premiere event staged at Pump Bottom Farm is our big West Sussex music festival Blues on the Farm.
Friendly, relaxed and inclusive - Blues on the Farm is an annual four-day festival, featuring different musical styles centred around classic and contemporary blues, blues-rock, soul and roots music. In 2010, 19 bands will be performing across four days from 17th to 20th June.
