Saturday 27 - Sunday 28 July 2024
Following the successful seasonal run of our bi-monthly Folk Club, our inaugural Folk, Roots & Maritime Festival celebrates folk and maritime heritage.
The festival is a passion project for us, aiming to provide a platform for folk musicians and storytellers to showcase their craft and the rich heritage that inspires them. By offering a free-to-enter festival with access to all acts, we hope to inspire both seasoned enthusiasts and the new generation in celebrating the diverse forms of folk and maritime music.
