Here’s a few folky ones…

July

Trowbridge

Cambridge Folk Festival

August

Sidmouth Folk Week

Fairport’s Cropredy Convention

Broadstairs Folk Week

Beautiful Days

Whitby Folk Week

Purbeck Valley Folk Festival

Shrewsbury Folk Festival

Towersey Folk Festival

And then there’s…

Bloodstock: Actually, that’s only very, very slightly folky – folk metal bands are known to turn up there with hurdy-gurdys (Isarnos – we’re looking at you). However, John-the-sound loved it in 2016 and recommends it.

Rebellion: This is barely folky at all, but was John-the-sound’s 2017 non-folk festival. Staying in a Blackpool B&B was very acceptable, and how can you go wrong with several days of punk – the folk music of the late-70’s?
