Vinyl Gathering takes it’s jam-packed monthly nights from the pub to the field, with a dedicated tribe of vinyl devotees spinning cross-spectrum sounds spanning soul to socca, Balearic to breaks, and beyond. Spread across 2 days + camping at a beautiful site on the outskirts of Bradford on Avon, with an intimate 250 person capacity.

A UNIQUE EVENT
We programme shorter sets so that we can allow a whole cosmos of DJs from Bradford on Avon, Bath and Bristol to showcase the most prized hidden treasures and secret weapons from their collections. The approach has created a unique and magical community vibe. At each night the energy is always high, the collective spirit strong, and the sheer quality of the tunes heard through our bespoke soundsystem never fail to surprise and delight.
It was only a matter of time before somebody quipped, “We should do this in a field…”

WHAT WE HAVE IN STORE
We are expanding on our existing vibe and going alfresco, relocating a short hop to the glorious Wiltshire countryside to an organic orchard. We’ll have dancing across 2 stages, showcasing diverse sets from many members of our devoted community.
We don’t want to lose the adult-focused feel of our regular events, but we know how rare and special it is to enjoy quality music in a field with the family without breaking the bank, so kids are welcome.
From 9pm onwards we envisage more of a grown-up party, so get the childcare booked in/kids down in the family campsite, and enjoy the revelry. Music programming will end at midnight on Saturday, and we’ll have a fire pit to gather around and chat ourselves silly until the wee hours. You can camp over, or return to site on Sunday for 11am and party until the early evening crescendo at 6pm.

IN ADDITION TO THE MUSIC
On top of 2 stages of dancing, we’ll have good times activities across the site, from The Big Fat Quiz Co, The Artiscool workshops, vinyl sellers, stalls, lounging areas. And, being set within a beautiful organic orchard, we’ll also have an organic growers tour.
We’ll have a bountifully stocked bar by local favourites The Shoes / Lucky's, with beers and cider on tap, cold cans by the fridge-load, wines, top-tier cocktails, mocktails and softies.
Delicious food will be available on site throughout the event via our guest food trucks, so you’ll be amazingly well fed too.
