In today's crowded festival market, House Festival have set out to bring music lovers a more exclusive summer party to celebrate some of the best live acts around. I was extremely lucky enough to grab a ticket as a guest of Freuds and got to spend the day at the beautiful Marble Hill House located in Richmond, indulging in unlimited food provided by Dirty Burger, Pizza East and even a buffet with as much lobster that guests desired!
It was a day full of free-flowing cocktails, fairground rides, glitter stations and you could even get a massage whilst coolly watching talented acts such as Slaves, Honne and Foxes throughout the day. However artists such as James Bay, Rudimental and the original diva Chaka Khan really stole the show.
James Bay delivered a compelling and captivating performance with his renditions of Hold Back The River and his even more recent Let It Go. Unlike any other festival, I could actually get to the front of the stage and dance freely - seeing James Bay up close and personal was a beautiful sight! By the time Chaka Khan arrived on stage the party vibe was fully established (mainly from the amount of cocktails consumed.) As she belted out her legendary tracks I Feel For You, I'm Every Woman and Ain't Nobody, the crowds bonded together, joyfully singing along to her uplifting, diva-licious performance.
But the day belonged to the energetic performance delivered by Rudimental. The Hackney-based band smashed their live set containing a group of gifted singers, brass players and hype men that certainly boosted the audience's spirits. With hands flying, bodies jumping and heads shaking, the crowds chanted along to Feel The Love and Not Giving In, hugging each other in true festival hippie-love style.

The whole day was fantastic - full of unlimited food, drink, music and glitter! I couldn't have imagined a better way to spend my Thursday afternoon :)
