Home Farm Fest 2026

A festival deserves more than phone snaps.

Home Farm Fest is a community festival in Somerset — three days of live music, local food, craft stalls, and the kind of atmosphere that's hard to put into words. The brief covered both photography of the whole event and a film trailer to help promote future editions of the festival.

The photography needed to capture the hands-on, lived-in feel of the festival across all three days — not just stages and crowds, but the market stalls, the musicians up close, and the smaller, independent makers who give the festival its character.

Three days. Bands, stalls, and everything in between.

I covered Home Farm Fest across all three days — Friday through to Sunday — shooting both photography and video. On the music side, that meant live coverage of the bands on stage; on the stalls side, it meant documenting the traders, makers and independent businesses who set up for the weekend.

One of the standout stallholders was Hands On, a wood-sculpture business that built an eye-catching school-bag sculpture on site over the course of the festival — the piece featured in the hero image above. Moments like that were exactly the kind of texture the festival wanted captured alongside the main stage coverage.

Alongside the photography, a festival film trailer was commissioned to help promote future events. That's currently in post-production — more on that soon.
