Welcome to the Mill Hill Music Festival website.
Thank you to all that joined us at this year’s Festival – it was pretty much a sell out on every night.
See you at the next one! ❤️❤️❤️
Please take a moment to fill in our survey here.
The Sixteenth Mill Hill Music Festival took place from 31st May to 7th June 2025, marking an extraordinary milestone — 30 years of bringing live music to the heart of our community! For three decades, the festival has been a vibrant celebration of musical talent, uniting audiences with an eclectic mix of performances spanning classical, jazz, rock, pop, opera, and more.
What began as a small local event has grown into a beloved tradition, drawing incredible artists and music lovers together year after year. This summer, we invite you to be part of our landmark anniversary—a week of spectacular live music, unforgettable performances, and a shared love of melody. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or are discovering the festival for the first time, we promise an event to remember.
As always, the Festival is run by music lovers, for music lovers, on a not-for-profit basis. We are delighted to continue to provide opportunities for local groups and musicians, including a not-to-be-missed evening of music from festival favourites, The BBC Elstree Concert Band, who presented a British Film Music Gala on our closing night, Saturday, 7th June and soul band The Booze Brothers supported the electrifying nine-piece reggae-ska-pop band, The Silencerz, at our Party Night on Friday, 6th June, at Mill Hill Golf Club.
We were thrilled to be presenting some of our programme at Hartley Hall on Flower Lane, where we welcomed, in a Festival first, Uncovered Opera on Tuesday, 3rd June with what was an unforgettable evening of opera’s greatest moments. We were very excited to play host to the amazing Jazz Dynamos on Thursday, 5th June. On Wednesday, 4th June, Cellophonics brought us an evening of classical music at St Paul’s Church on The Ridgeway.
As always we put on several free events, this year we had a splendid afternoon of music with Mike Ellis’s Razzamajazz Dixieland Band on Sunday, 1st June and our opening night with Recycled on the 31st May, both at The Adam & Eve Pub.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mill Hill Music Complex for their generous sponsorship, Mill Hill Wines for their invaluable support with ticket sales, and to our many friends and volunteers whose dedication makes this festival possible.
We also offer our profound thanks to our esteemed patron, Lady Hobson OBE, whose unwavering support since the Festival’s inception in 1995 has been truly invaluable.
Above all, we are deeply appreciative of everyone who has attended over the past thirty years—your enthusiasm and love for live music have been the heartbeat of the Festival.
We hope to you all again at our next Festival in 2027!
