UK dance music promoters Labyrinth Events are set to transform the picturesque grounds of Tofte Manor into an unmissable musical destination this weekend, with two contrasting yet equally compelling events that showcase the breadth of British music culture.
Saturday, July 12th marks a historic moment as progressive house legends Sasha and John Digweed reunite for an extended 5-hour set at the breathtaking 17th-century manor house in Bedford. The event, running from midday through to 10pm, represents the duo’s only UK performance of 2025, making it a pilgrimage site for electronic music devotees.
The pair’s sets are renowned for their mesmerising quality, featuring hypnotic progressive house filled with progressive house gems that create magic on the dance floor. Having shaped the UK’s dance music landscape for decades, Sasha and John Digweed’s back-to-back performances have become legendary experiences that warrant such a unique and beautiful venue.
Presale tickets for Sasha and Digweed are available on Resident Advisor.
The Bedford location of Tofte Manor provides the perfect backdrop for this rare collaboration, with its historic architecture and sprawling grounds offering an intimate yet grand setting for what promises to be an unforgettable musical journey.
The weekend’s musical diversity continues on Sunday, July 13th, as legendary ska band Madness headlines the same magical venue. Emerging from the backstreets of Camden Town in the late ’70s, Madness has remained one of Britain’s most enduring musical treasures, boasting 15 top 10 singles and 10 UK top 10 albums.
The event features an impressive supporting lineup including Norman Jay MBE, Trojan Sound System, Don Letts, and Rhoda Dakar, creating a celebration of UK ska, reggae, and two-tone culture. This stellar bill promises to deliver the infectious energy and timeless appeal that has made Madness a beloved institution in British music.
Presale tickets for Madness are also available on Resident Advisor.
Toft Manor’s historic charm and intimate capacity create an exclusive atmosphere that larger festivals simply cannot match, allowing fans to experience these legendary acts in an unusually personal setting. Shuttle bus passes from Kings Cross to the venue are also available on Resident Advisor on the event pages.
