River Cottage Summer Shindig

Join us at River Cottage HQ for a night of fantastic seasonal food, drinks, and live music!

At this brand new event, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the River Cottage site – with a field set up especially for our Shepherds Hut Stage - so get your wellies on and head on down to the farm for our River Cottage Summer Shindig!

We’ll have some talented local musicians playing on the Shepherds Hut Stage throughout the evening - performing a mixture of original music and covers, sure to get you dancing!

The evening will be headlined by the 3 Daft Monkeys. Their dynamic style of world folk music reflects the global village in which we now live. Their infectious dancing rhythms lead you through a musical journey of the senses and emotions, and will leave you breathless, enthralled and exhilarated!

They'll be supported by River Cottage regulars The Royal T’s. This high energy three piece acoustic group, with incredible 3 part harmony vocals create an infectious good time vibe at every event. Playing songs from the 50’s to current day they're sure to play some familiar tunes that'll get you singing along and your feet tapping!

Keeping you dancing in between with some funky house tunes will be DJ Rabbit. With 30 years experience on the decks, he's well respected in the scene and will keep you partying throughout the evening!

Our bar will be fully stocked with organic beers, ciders and spirits as well as soft drinks.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a visit to River Cottage without delicious seasonal food! Our chefs will be cooking up a storm with some fantastic options available to purchase for meat-lovers and veggies alike.

This outdoor event will go ahead rain or shine, so make sure to dress for the weather and bring your wellies and raincoats!
