What a week we’ve had. Eight days and more than 800 events celebrating the full spectrum of folk music, dance, song and community.

We set out to celebrate and grow the traditions that bring us together, and this week, Sidmouth has done just that. We hope you’ve been as inspired as we have.

Heartfelt thanks to every one of you who has performed, participated, volunteered, danced, sung, played – or simply soaked up the atmosphere. Together, you’ve made it a truly wonderful Festival.


Support the artists you’ve discovered

A huge thank you to the more than 400 volunteers who have welcomed audiences, supported artists, collected donations, run venues and bars, solved problems and helped keep the Festival moving. We truly couldn’t do it without you.

Our heartfelt thanks also go to our artists, tutors, callers, performers, production teams, venue crews, sponsors, Friends, local partners and businesses – and to the people of Sidmouth for sharing your wonderful town with us.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who joined in: singing, dancing, playing, learning, performing, volunteering, donating, or simply soaking up the atmosphere. You are what makes Sidmouth Folk Festival so special.
