On Saturday, there is strictly no parking at or around the Mill other than for disabled access. A Free shuttle bus service every half hour between the Mill and the Ulsterbus depot in Downpatrick. Free buses to Belfast & Newry, leave venue 1AM.


Celebrating its sixth year Get Down With The Blues has invited back great past performers and topped with exciting new artists like the International Wilko Johnston Band. Picturesque country side, a beautiful courtyard, sunshine, BBQ, beer, blue sky and STUMPING BLUES MUSIC! Only five hundred tickets released. Come and chill a bit, dance a bit, love a lot!
