It’s a free live music event within the show delivering a real mixture of acoustic, traditional, soloists and live bands all playing covers and music from across the generations throughout the day.

The original Mirf’ Fest organisers – and now members of Mirfield Show – said “Our local area has an amazing mixture of musicians from soloists to live bands and we wanted to create an event that will run alongside the Mirfield Show, and in time could grow into a whole festival itself.”
