Wow! What a week! A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the 2022 festival a success.
Festival director John Braithwaite signs off on amazing week: “Thank you all for coming. Being back in Sidmouth after three long years without a full festival has been a real thrill and pleasure. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in 2023.”
Next year’s dates are 4-11 August 2023.
Join in the celebrations for the 68th Sidmouth Folk Festival as we return in style to our stunning beach-side festival location. With a real reason to celebrate, we will be filling the seafront, streets and venues with festive atmosphere and fun, as festival goers and holiday makers join together once again for the friendliest music-based holiday of the summer.
The week-long festival offers a unique and diverse line-up of events for all – from full season ticket holders to day visitors – with major headline shows, small intimate events, dancing, singing, playing and plenty of participatory fun.
A national treasure – a major cultural institution held every year in the first week of August since 1955 attracting tens of thousands of visitors.
A champion of folk traditions – with over 700 diverse events with wide-ranging appeal.
An established platform for recognised stars AND emerging talent, expect major concerts, upbeat roots parties, intimate sessions, ceilidhs, folk dancing, storytelling events, fun family entertainment, youth-centred sessions, hands-on workshops and spectacular dance displays.
The best of the South West: regional crafts and the tastiest of local food and drink.
