Millfield Green Retirement Village turns up the volume with first-ever summer music event

Millfield Green retirement village, owned and operated by Inspired Villages in Caddington, Bedfordshire, welcomed residents, prospective residents and leisure members to its inaugural summer music event, Millfield Green Summer Sounds, on Friday 26th June 2026, with an afternoon of live music, food and festivities from 1pm to 4pm. 

Now home to a growing and vibrant community, the UK’s first net zero retirement village Millfield Green is a hive of activity and a testament to the appeal of independent, connected later living. 100 guests gathered in the village grounds for an afternoon of live music, laughter and sunshine in what proved to be a memorable summer occasion. 

Embracing the summer spirit, the event featured a live set from The Dominos, whose energy and repertoire kept the crowd in high spirits throughout the afternoon. The celebrations were rounded out with a sizzling BBQ, a drinks tent and a selection of stalls, ensuring there was plenty to savour beyond the music. 

The event was a wonderful opportunity to bring residents together with leisure members from the wider local community. More than a music event, Millfield Green Summer Sounds was a celebration of community - a chance to experience first-hand the warmth, vitality and spirit that makes life at Millfield Green so special. 

Scott McCartney, Village Manager at Millfield Green, comments: “Millfield Green Summer Sounds was such a special afternoon and a real showcase of what community life here is all about. Seeing residents and the local community all come together to enjoy live music in the sunshine was exactly what we hoped for. The Dominos were brilliant and the whole village came alive with it. We can’t wait to do it all again.”
