Preparations for the 2008 Shrewsbury Folk Festival are well underway and another great artist line-up is taking shape. You can find out almost everything you need to know about the festival and, in fact, Shrewsbury on this web site and it’s various links. So please explore and enjoy.
There will be no basic changes to the festival site (West Mids Showground) or its venue and marquees for 2008. So you can expect to spend your Bank Holiday in our colourful and adventurous world. But it wouldn’t be Shrewsbury if we didn’t seek to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative, so expect more showers, bigger bars with more choice, coloured camping zones, better dance facilities, improved main stage seating and a whole lot more.
Shrewsbury Folk Festival offers musical and cultural diversity, but never loses sight of the need to give you a fun packed four days, a family holiday with something for everyone, and a chance to discover new artists from the UK and around the world.
Comments from 2007
Had a fab time, everything was soooo nice, great atmosphere, felt like the stewards and caterers etc were enjoying themselves too and happy to serve us with big smiles and good conversation. Great mix of entertainment, great atmosphere, loved it....more of the same next year please!!

It was a fabulous experience and I'll be planning to go back next year. The facilities were top class....showers with instant hot water! A wide choice of real ales, ciders, perries etc at affordable prices, loads of interesting food bars and (best of all) a PROPER coffee stall. Hardly a queue in sight....yet there were thousands of folks there.

Probably the best-run Festival I've ever been to. Excellent camping, hot showers, excellent loos. Vast marquee (2000+) that was blacked out even in daylight. Congratulations to everyone involved in organising this amazing Festival. Long may they succeed.
