Revamped Powys music festival to return again in 2025
After a successful revamp that saw the event return from a long hiatus, Llanfyllin's Workhouse Party event is set to return again for 2025.
Having welcomed music, workshops, dancing, camping, food and drink to the historic Llanfyllin Workhouse for a weekend last summer, the Workhouse Party festival will be returning again on June 20 until June 22.
The 2024 festival was the first time the event had been held in six years and marked 20 years since the first one was held.
The success of the event has allowed the Workhouse to revive the festival once again for 2025, announcing a lineup of musicians and performers who will be appearing at the grounds alongside a series of workshops, talks and stalls.
Announcing the lineup, a spokesperson for the Workhouse said via social media: 'A fabulously small and cosy, family friendly event.
'There will be music, workshops, dancing, camping, ales, lagers, ciders, great food, amazing scenery over three glorious days in Mid Wales.'
The 2024 festival went ahead after initial fears from the organisers that the party would have to be scaled down or cancelled entirely if not enough tickets were purchased during the planning stages.
However, after a series of pleas the Workhouse confirmed after a few weeks that they had met the threshold of ticket sales for the festival to go ahead as initially planned.
After the 2024 event, Sian Walters from Arts Connection, a group that helped put the event together, said: 'Solstice weekend saw the return of the Workhouse Party. It's been six years since the last one, but we now have a young crew who are learning to manage a big weekend event: it's very exciting to see so many talented people bringing the Party back to life.
'The weather was fine and all in all it was a great time enjoyed by all. Look out for this event next year.
'We would like to thank all our lovely volunteers, site crew, bands, DJ's and all those who attended to make it such a great event.'
Tickets for the 2025 Llanfyllin Workhouse Party are now on sale.
