2024 - the inaugural year of Under the Drum Festival

Welcoming people to our barn, fields and woods in Country Antrim, Northern Ireland, for what we hope will become an annual event.

Gathering musical talent from across Ireland and the UK, covering folk, rock, indie and trad genres. Besides music, there will also be food, art, poetry, yoga and more to explore.

Breckenhill is a family home and events venue, just 30 minutes from Belfast and on the edge of the Antrim Hills, under Drumadarragh Hill which inspired the name of the festival.
