MILL FEST

Set against the backdrop of the historic Swinnow Grange Mills in Leeds, Mill Fest launches for its debut year in 2025 – a one-day celebration of music, art, food, ink, and beer.

Born from a collaboration between Against The Grain, Grays Salon, and Rose & Thorn Tattoo Studio, Mill Fest brings together the creative heart of Bramley for a grassroots festival like no other. Expect a full day of live bands, acts, street food, artisan vendors, craft beer, and a tattoo flash day, all taking place across our industrial indoor spaces and open-air yard.

Our event isn’t just about great music – it’s about showcasing local talent, supporting small businesses, and building something for the people, by the people.

Highlights include:

      — Live ska, rock and cover bands from across the area
      — A pop-up tattoo studio offering flash designs from some of Leeds’ best artists
      — A vibrant market of local makers, artists and independents
      — Delicious food trucks, plus indoor bar and craft drinks yard

Mill Fest is independent, inclusive, and proudly northern. Whether you’re here for the tunes, the tattoos or just the vibes – you’re in good company.
