Shrewsbury Folk Festival | One of England's top folk festivals, located in the beautiful town of Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Amazing Music

At Shrewsbury Folk Festival we’re proud to programme a distinctive mix of folk and roots music; we want the line-up to feel like the Shrewsbury Folk Festival, and totally distinct from any other festival out there. [MORE]

Exciting Dance

The last few years have seen dance grow to become a major part of the festival – with both social and display dance taking on a prominent role in our event. [MORE]

Great Food & Drink

Our food area is at the centre of the festival site, next to the main bar and just behind the main marquee, so access to some great food is only a minutes’ walk away from the hub of the site. [MORE]

Fantastic for Kids

Our programme for kids has grown in the last couple of years, and the younger festival goer can journey into another world of creativity and excitement that is packed with activities, theatre, storytelling, circus skills and music. [MORE]

HELLO HELLO

We are back again, brimming with new ideas for 2013. We have some terrific artists confirmed for next year and some we are still working on. You can expect some of the top names from across the world, top names from the UK, and some of our best local talent. Most of all , we have tried to find performers and combinations of artists that you wouldn’t necessarily find at other events - there are many festivals so we want you to expect something unique at Shrewsbury.

Festivals should reinforce your enjoyment of existing performers and send you on a voyage of discovery, and that is what Shrewsbury Folk Festival is all about. We are improving our existing festival site with the support of our local councils, and taking steps to make your holiday at Shrewsbury Folk Festival more comfortable and more exciting whether you are coming alone or with friends and family. We want this to be a place where you can feel welcome as an experienced folkie or a complete newcomer.

SFF is organised by a dedicated group of enthusiasts so there's no corporate planning here, just a love of music and dance. We hope that enthusiasm shows through in what we present and how we present it. See you in August.
