Upcoming Events
Long Table Lates: Old Spot
We’re delighted to welcome the fantastic Old Spot to The Old Department Store on Friday 4th December!
Old Spot (Rowan Piggott & Joe Danks) burst onto the scene in 2023 with a critically acclaimed debut album and a whirlwind UK tour, quickly establishing themselves as a fresh force in old-time music. Praised for their raw energy and expressive musicianship, the duo lit up stages across UK/EU folk, bluegrass, and old-time festivals.
Now, in 2026, Old Spot continue to push the boundaries of stringband tradition – digging deeper into the roots of old-time while crafting a live show that’s equal parts intimate and electrifying. Their forthcoming album, recorded in the Scottish Borders, captures this evolving sound with fresh material and atmospheric arrangements. Whether trading close harmonies, ripping into a tune, or experimentally reworking a classic, Old Spot captivate audiences with a sound that’s both steeped in tradition and boldly original.

Feast on The Farm at Ampney Brook Farm
We’re delighted to welcome you to a late Summer fire pit feast at 7pm, on Thursday 27th August at Ampney Brook Farm!
For one evening only a small group of people will gather in the farm's charming market garden, where guests will enjoy a delicious supper cooked on the fire pit, with a selection of fresh summer dishes made with ingredients directly from the farm.
The evening will start at 7pm at Ampney Brook Farm, just 10 minutes outside Cirencester at Harnhill.
This intimate event will be a wonderful opportunity to experience the best of local produce in a beautiful setting. During the evening we'll hear more about Ampney Brook Farm and their approach to organic regenerative farming. Whether you're interested in what it means to grow population and heritage grain, you're curious about using no-dig methods to grow fruit, vegetables and salad, or you want to know more about what Pasture for Life really means - or maybe you just love really great food! Whichever one it is, we know you'll have a wonderful evening.

Long Table Lates: Robi Mitch + delifinger
We’re excited to welcome the wonderful Robi Mitch to The Old Department Store on Thursday 13th August for the next event in our live music series, The Long Table Lates.
Hailing from Bristol and now based in Cornwall, Robi Mitch brings dreamlike songs and soundscapes inspired by 70s psychedelia, 80s synths and 90s mixtapes. Robi’s music shifts seamlessly from record to record, reflecting a restless creativity. Formative years touring in Taiwan bring futurist synth flavours into the mix, while his love of analogue textures and folk songwriting keeps things feeling warm and organic.
Robi's album FLAT PLANET comes out in June 2026 on We Go To 11 Records, a bedroom pop space odyssey blending slinky synths with sleazy grooves. "Amazing!" (BBC Introducing) "Heavenly" (Obscure Sound) “Innovative and unique” (Found Sound Review) “Timeless songwriting” (In Stereo) “Diverse, blissfully warm and utterly infectious" (Small Music Scene)

Long Table Lates: Humm
We’re delighted to welcome the wonderful Humm on Thursday 23rd July to The Long Table Lates!
Arty Jackson and Carys Lewin are a southwest based contemporary folk duo with stories to tell, minds to change and worlds to re-imagine. Creating music which unites fellow nature-lovers with their inner activist.
Rooted in traditional music, Humm have created a new, eclectic sound, with influences ranging from John Martyn and Joni Mitchell to Paul Simon, Eels, Radiohead and XTC. Casting a collective spell over young and old since 2018 with their rich harmonium drones, melodic finger-style guitar and lush ethereal vocals. Humm take listeners on a twisted journey through love and heartbreak, telling folkloric tales of Welsh saints and Greek sinners, Cornish fairy tales and mediaeval legends.
Being staunch environmentalists themselves they find their music always leads back to one place: the importance of planet preservation. With the natural world at the heart of Humm’s music, soaring melodies and wistful instrumentation bring their earnest lyrics to life, solidifying their place in folk music.

Long Table Lates: The Kimberleys + Poppy Lomax
On Thursday 14th May we’re excited to welcome The Kimberleys to The Old Department Store for the next gig in our popular series, TLT Lates!
The Kimberleys, a husband-and-wife duo, have become recognised as authentic and original interpreters of the traditional folk repertoire. Their first album, Turn The Glass (featuring revered guests like Gordon Giltrap, Andy Cutting, and Dave Swarbrick) earned wide critical acclaim, including a place in the Daily Telegraph’s Top Folk Albums of 2015. Their latest album, 2024's "The Shape of A Year," is an atmospheric, cinematic collection of reworked folk standards that Folk London named one of the year’s best. The Kimberleys continue to carve a distinctive path through the folk world, balancing invention with tradition acclaimed for their ability to breathe new life into well-known songs.
Their live performances are as memorable as their recordings. Whether playing a packed folk club, a concert hall, or a festival stage, their warmth, wit, and musicianship leave a lasting impression. Recent appearances have included Celtic Connections and a forthcoming performance at the iconic Sidmouth Folk Festival.
