At MilkLand, we do things differently. We’re not just a music events company – we’re a vibrant community of music lovers, party-goers, and talented DJs who believe in the power of music to bring people together, heal, and create lasting memories. Our mission is simple: to unite, celebrate, and provide unique experiences that are accessible to everyone, especially those who may not typically have the opportunity to enjoy the music scene.
Our Journey
MilkLand was born out of the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. As lockdowns kept music venues closed, the mental health impact was felt across our community. Music lovers, artists, and DJs were left with nowhere to gather, play, or listen to the music they love. Seeing the growing need for a safe space, we stepped in and transformed a soon-to-be-demolished garage into a fully-functional, soundproofed music studio and intimate venue.
This space became a lifeline, offering people a place to connect, share their struggles, and enjoy music in a supportive and positive environment. The MilkLand spirit was born here, and it has since grown into a registered not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC), focused on using music as a force for good.
There are countless reasons why MilkLand stands out:
Community at the Core: We’re all about fostering a sense of togetherness. Whether you’re a seasoned DJ or simply love a good party, MilkLand is a welcoming, supportive space where everyone can thrive.
Inclusive and Accessible: We’re passionate about making music accessible to all. Our events are designed to engage everyone, particularly individuals with special educational needs or those who face barriers to the traditional music scene.
Unforgettable Experiences: Our events are more than just parties – they’re immersive, sensory experiences. With incredible light shows, lasers, and interactive musical elements, we create an atmosphere where you can lose yourself in the music.
Supporting Local Talent: We’re committed to boosting local artists, giving them a platform to shine and the resources they need to succeed. When you attend a MilkLand event, you’re not just having a great time – you’re supporting your community’s rising stars.
Sustainability: We care about our planet, and we’re always looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint. Our latest project involves converting an old electric milk float into a mobile sound system, powered by solar energy, to bring music to communities far and wide – without leaving a negative impact on the environment.
Our vision goes beyond parties. We dream of creating a music experience that can travel to schools, care homes, and communities, offering a festival-style atmosphere to those who don’t have easy access to live music. This includes individuals with special needs, isolated individuals, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
We’re already working on our next big project – the MilkLand Mobile Sound System. By converting an old electric milk float into a mobile music unit, we plan to take the joy of live music on the road, from John o’ Groats to Land’s End, stopping off in local communities to bring the magic of music to those who need it most. It’s an ambitious journey, but with the support of our incredible community, we know it’s possible.
Our Success So Far
MilkLand has already accomplished so much in a short time. Our first fundraiser was a massive success, raising over £2,300, which will go directly into supporting our community projects. With the launch of our first three-day festival, we showcased more than 80 local DJs across three stages, uniting music lovers from all walks of life in a celebration of creativity, positivity, and unity.
MilkLand is always looking for like-minded people to join us on our journey. Whether you’re a musician, a party-goer, or simply someone who believes in the power of music to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you. You can support us by attending our events, making a donation, or helping to spread the word about what we do.
