They give all of their profits to locally based charities including a palliative care hospice called the Cransley Hospice in Kettering, the homeless charity Safe Until Daylight and the NHS Charity.

They have plenty of off-road parking and cars can be left overnight. Please bear in mind though that all cars are left at the driver's own discretion. The Music Barn cannot be held responsible for any damage or theft to that vehicle.

The event is held across 2 barns with concrete flooring along with some outside space for seating and relaxing.  Unless the weather is really poor you won't need wellies, however, sturdy shoes would be advisable if you want to have a good dance!

The Music Barn festival does not reserve any tickets for sale on the gate so if they sell out before the weekend, they will not be available on the gate. If tickets sell out Music Barn will announce it on the website and socials.

Unfortunately, we can’t issue you with a refund if you can’t make the event due to work commitments or if your mates have dropped out. In these circumstances, we advise passing on your tickets privately to avoid losing out on the money spent.

Refunds can only be offered if the event is cancelled or postponed, as agreed upon purchase.  Should the event be cancelled due to Covid 19 restriction, the event will be postponed to a new date either later in the year or to 2022.  All tickets will be automatically held over to the new date and a refund will be offered at that time if you can not attend the new date.
