This collaboration between Sidmouth School of Art, Sidmouth Coastal Community Hub, Sidmouth Folk Festival, TPL Films, photographers JJ Waller and Kyle Baker and members of the public – brings together the festival’s history and evolution. Spotlighting culture, folk lore, music, dance and the joy of participation and special sense of place that Sidmouth enjoys as the host venue for this long-lasting festival.
