Fab for fiddle fans.

The rather magical winner of the Indoor Festival of the Year 2013 (Fatea Awards)

New to the site, but this is it's 12th 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. Featuring David Foley (RURA), Colin Masterton (FRAS), Sharon Newton Creasey, Kenny Hadden, Adam Brown (RURA) Dougie Pincock, Rosa Michaelson, George Ormiston. Workshops, sessions, talks, performances and more as well

Not quite a festival, but for those interested in traditional flute music, it is a big thing.

An evening only event.

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 2026 as well.

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

The Tenby Blues Festival has grown rapidly and is now firmly established as one of the major events in the UK Blues calendar. This intimate and friendly festival has built its reputation on the strength of its line up that just gets better by the year.
