Trowbridge Village Pump Festival is an annual music festival held at Stowford Manor Farm, Farleigh Hungerford, England.

All events take place in marquees and the compact site includes camping, car parking, three separate stages plus children's tent, two beer tents and a myriad of trade stalls selling items from all over the world.

The music covers a variety of genres from folk and roots to blues and Ceilidh with a variety of other entertainment including a family field, with puppetry and story telling.

This festival is host to its own very own world record. Thanks to the help of the Stripey-Jumper street theatre group the people at Trowbridge Festival gathered 345 people to play the spoons to the pup song "Knees up mother brown". This record is hoping to be broken at the next festival in July 2007 so be sure to bring your spoons!
