Hired marquee on the 200-acre campus, large dancefloor, good space. The Brotherhood played a continuous set here - no stops between songs, just read the room and built through the evening. Low riser stage in the marquee, clean load-in from the grounds.
The venue
Millfield Prep School offers facilities hire for corporate events and group gatherings. The Glastonbury campus can host daytime activities, presentations and workshops, then flip to an evening with live music and dancefloor.
Load-in and stage
Stage is a low riser on a flat dancefloor. Good access from the grounds. House PA is an older Martin Audio rig - decent kit, handles music fine. We ran our own FOH mix from the stage, so we had control over the set energy without needing a separate engineer. Enough dancefloor space to spread out and actually move around.
Recommended lineup
6 or 7-piece works well for the marquee - enough presence to fill the space without crowding the stage. Bigger events or later starts can go 8-piece. With brass (sax or trumpet), you can shift the vibe song to song in a continuous set.

Hosting a band here
The school’s team understands event logistics and the transition from structured daytime programme to evening social event. They’re clear on timing and don’t expect stops and starts around competing agendas.
The Brotherhood are South Wales’ corporate band, playing events across the Southwest from our Newport base. Check our availability for your team day or gathering at Millfield Prep, or see how we approach corporate events in South Wales.
