Ivor Novello nominated singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone will join the At Home Farm programme this summer for an intimate live performance on Sunday 14th July. 

Often described as one of the most exciting alternative pop stars of her generation, Humberstone has grown from an unknown singer at her parents' piano to winning a BRIT Rising Star Award and two Ivor Novello nominations. Now, Humberstone will bring her visceral 'bare all' lyricism to the unique woodland stage for an unforgettable night under the stars. 

Holly joins twice Mercury nominated singer-songwriter Nick Mulvey who will be returning to At Home Farm's Woodland Stage on Friday 16th August. Known for famed tracks such as “Fever to the Form '', “Cucurucu'' and “Begin Again”, Mulvey's music is medicine for the soul. Mulvey's soundscape suits this magical woodland setting beautifully with the outdoor setting feeling deeply connected to his boundary pushing storytelling about humanity.

The incredible musical line-up also includes Communion One's Bruno Major (21 August), Ronnie Scott's Presents Vanessa Haynes sings Aretha Franklin (12 July) and Izo FitzRoy (23 August). 

Home Farm's festoon-lit Woodland Stage is an atmospheric live music venue like no other in Hertfordshire. Guests enjoy delicious pre-show dining nestled around Home Farm's mighty Oak, followed by enchanting musical performances surrounded by woodlands and a private lake. 

To round off the summer, At Home Farm will host the wonderful Campfire Sessions in the Glamping Meadow for an intimate off-grid performance under the stars (28 September). The solar powered stage welcomes diverse artists with raw acoustics, blending together folk, surf, blues and country in a dreamy fusion. 

Wild Oak Meadows Festival reveals a glorious day of family fun

Set to become an annual “must-do” on the family calendar, the brand new Wild Oak Meadows Family Festival (13 Jul) is a celebration of the great outdoors amongst the picturesque meadows and woodlands of the Aldenham Estate. At Home Farm's Event Director Elissa Gold - also renowned for producing the family areas at award-winning festivals including Wilderness - has programmed a joyous day packed with fun, laughter, music and creativity for young ones and the young at heart.

Tootles + Nibs' will host their signature family rave with UV paint, bubbles and glow sticks a-plenty, Vegas Girls will mash up “old skool classics” with big harmonies and One Jah Music will be bringing their unique reggae versions of nursery rhymes to the Woodland Stage. 

Little ones can try and spot Smoking Apple Theatre's “Arbor”, an interactive “part man, part tree” walkabout performance sharing a story encouraging us to protect nature. Big Tree Climbing will set up its zip lines and giant tree climbing amongst the woodland canopy. Exploring Nature will run creative workshops connecting children to the great outdoors and Showtime Circus will host circus skills sessions throughout the day. For some chill out time, children can enjoy meeting Pages Farm's friendly farm animals.
