What is Truleigh Farm Fest?

A festival in a field. A very good field.

An independent live music and family festival at Truleigh Manor Farm, near Henfield in West Sussex, with the South Downs rising behind the stage.

Music first

Truleigh is built around live bands, not background music. The first festival ran from afternoon sets into a full evening headline performance.

Relaxed by design

Bring a blanket, sit on the grass, dance at the front, browse traders, find food or retreat to the bar. There is no single correct way to do the day.

Made for Sussex

The farm setting, local audience, independent traders and open views are part of the event rather than scenery added afterwards.

Families, friends & dogs

Big enough to feel like a festival. Small enough to still feel friendly.

In 2026, families picnicked on the grass, children danced near the stage, friends arrived in cowboy hats, dogs joined their humans and the crowd moved forward as the evening bands came on.
