House music has always been about more than the records themselves. It's a space for expression, release and bringing people together.
Built around that ethos, House Is A Feeling celebrates the genre that continues to evolve while never losing sight of its roots.
Yes, ticket holders need to be 18+.
However we want to be as inclusive as possible, so parents who would otherwise require childcare to attend are welcome to have their youngsters on the terrace with them for the first half of the event. After 6:30pm, the event will shift into later-evening mode and the terrace becomes an adults-only space.
Parents should note that Maltings Taphouse is a family-friendly venue, with the wider non-ticketed downstairs space open to all ages throughout the day and evening. Attendees are free to come and go, with re-entry to the terrace permitted throughout.
The event starts at 2pm and finishes at 11pm.
If you're planning to reach us by train, there are scheduled trains back towards Totnes/Plymouth just after 11pm, and the same in the Exeter direction. We encourage you to check live train times ahead of arriving at the venue and before leaving to go home.
No. However the venue does offer alcohol-free and low-alcohol options.
And as always, we encourage mindful consumption and aim to create a welcoming, inclusive space where everyone feels able to be themselves and dance freely. What the music is all about.
Expect soulful, groove-led sounds spanning house, disco & electronica, and deeper, punchier late-evening energy, with influence from Chicago, Manchester, New York and beyond.
The terrace space is accessed via a set of stairs and is therefore unsuitable for those with particular mobility needs.
However we would like make this event as inclusive as possible and are considering enlisting the support of an enabling service. So if the stairs are a barrier for you or someone you care for, please email info@the-formula.club and we'll do our best to find a way to welcome you.
The wider non-ticketed venue space on the ground floor is accessible, with an accessible toilet.
Food is provided by The Hatch, situated on the ground floor of the venue, whose celebrated wood-fired sourdough pizzas, light bites and snacks cater for vegetarian and vegan diets, from 5pm.
We have cover lined up in the event of rain and the venue has plenty of indoor seating space.
We'll be installing a temporary dancefloor over the gravel, creating a comfortable, level and forgiving surface for dancing throughout the day.
Due to the limited capacity on the terrace, and to help us ensure we can create a relaxed atmosphere that's centred around the music, where possible we're encouraging dog owners to leave there dogs at home or find a sitter. Should this create a barrier to attending, dog owners are welcome to bring there dogs on the terrace for the first half of the event until 6:30pm.
Dog owners should note that Maltings Taphouse is a dog-friendly venue, with the wider non-ticketed downstairs space welcoming dogs throughout the day and evening. Attendees are free to come and go, with re-entry to the terrace permitted throughout.
