UK Folk Festivals - Coming Soon

Not a lot on their site when we last checked. But the name gives you a strong clue to what is going on.

Concerts, workshops, sessions.

Mainly indoors, so no need to worry about the weather. There are individual concerts in Derby Cathedral on Friday evening, and Saturday, and concerts in The Old Bell Hotel on Friday evening, and through Saturday and Sunday.

We occasionally feature festivals with a difference. And this time it is a veritable feast of interweaving words: stories, poems, rap and songs, from across the Welsh Marches, West Midlands and the whole wide world!

A mixture of free open air entertainment, concerts, music sessions, classic boats, pub sessions and singarounds during the festival weekend. Events take place throughout the old town of Harwich at several local venues.

It's back again, for it's fourth year. Intends to showcase contemporary, alternative and traditional folk and roots music. Includes local and national artists.

The Wee Fife Folk Festival was originally planned in 2020, but we all know what happened then! 2 years later and with a smaller scope, the inaugural event took place. It may have been wee, but it was such fun, we decided to do it all again.

And it's back for 2025 as well.

We couldn't connect to their original url - weefifefolkfest.co.uk - so we have used their Facebook page instead.

A stand-in for their normal event which has been postponed until next year, this Americana festival is taking place in London this year.

Over 50 artists on three live stages.

New to the site, but this is it's 11th event.

This is basically a seasonal festival with dynamic performances from Morris dancers, musicians and the all important meeting of the Welsh Mari Lwyds with our Cornish Oss, Penkevyll marking the end of Summer and the beginning of Winter. The main venue of these performances was outside the famous Museum of Witchcraft & Magic in the pretty village of Boscastle, Cornwall. It has now been moved to the beautiful historic town of Tintagel that has a unique magical energy of its own.

Another event featuring flutes and whistles in Scotland. Web site has been updated recently to include prices and performers. And details of the workshops, sessions, talks, performances and more as well.
