Farmer Phil’s Festival 2018

Our 20th anniversary festival was an absolute humdinger!  Show-stopping sets from reggae legends Aswad, the returning Doctor and the Medics, festival favourite Dan Owen, the explosive Celtica Pipes Rock, the bombastic Jilted Generation and the amazing Jake & Elwood’s Blues Brothers Show were just some of the stunning highlights of a Farmer Phil’s Festival that will live long in the memory for all involved.

It is with heavy hearts that we regretfully announ It is with heavy hearts that we regretfully announce Farmer Phil’s Festival 2020 will not go ahead as planned.

Like many other events scheduled to be hosted this summer, we have been monitoring the #COVID19 situation closely.  The safety of our festival family – the performers, traders, staff, volunteers and not least you, our wonder supporters – is of the utmost importance to us and we have concluded that going ahead with the event is a risk simply not worth taking.

We realise that, while perhaps not unexpected in the current climate, this is disappointing news for everyone looking forward to our annual party in the #ShropshireHills.

So we are pleased to confirm that we have postponed this year’s event until 13-15 August 2021.  We are working hard to replicate the line up that would have been playing for you this year, and those already confirmed will be announced on an updated event poster in the coming weeks.

Tickets purchased for this year will remain valid for the 2021 re-scheduled event and postal tickets will be sent out nearer the event itself.  It would mean the world to us if you retained your tickets for next year, however we do appreciate that individuals’ circumstances can change, so if you’re unable to join us in #Ratlinghope in 2021, please contact us for refunds via the channels below: - For postal ticket orders, please e-mail farmerphilsfestival@gmail.com
- For online orders via Ticket Sellers, please contact Ticket Sellers directly

To help us process your request quickly, please only contact us via the above e-mail for postal ticket refunds – enquiries via social media can get missed.

Thank you again for your continued support – please continue to keep safe and we look forward to seeing you all again in 2021 when you can all geddon moi land again!
