At the heart of Broadstone Fun Day is the pulse of something electric: Rock on the Rec. It’s more than just a stage — it’s a celebration of music, talent, and the shared joy of live performance under the summer sky.
First introduced to bring some rhythm to the field, Rock on the Rec has grown into a much-loved tradition, drawing crowds from across Dorset and beyond. It gives local artists the chance to shine, and gives festivalgoers the soundtrack to their day.
Why it matters:
🎶 A platform for local talent
From solo acoustic acts to full bands, Rock on the Rec gives local musicians a rare opportunity to perform in front of a live, family-friendly audience — and sometimes, their biggest crowd to date.
🎸 Creating atmosphere
Music brings the field to life. Whether you’re wandering the stalls, dancing by the stage, or relaxing with friends and a drink, the sounds of Rock on the Rec set the tone for the whole event.
❤️ Building connection
Live music has a way of bringing people together — strangers become friends, generations share the same beat, and moments become memories. That’s the magic of Rock on the Rec.
🌟 It’s for everyone
There’s no ticket, no age limit, no dress code. Just great music, free and open to all, in a space that belongs to the community.
So when you come to Broadstone Fun Day, don’t miss your chance to stop by the stage, support the acts, and maybe discover your next favourite band. Because Rock on the Rec isn’t just a gig — it’s where Broadstone comes to sing.
