About the Festival

“Possibly the friendliest and most relaxed festival I have ever attended. In the 25 years I’ve been going to festivals I have never experienced such a warm and welcoming vibe” – FestivalKidz

Shrewsbury Folk Festival combines a stellar line-up of folk, world music and Americana and slick production with a “warm and welcoming” vibe, making it one of the most sought-after tickets for August Bank Holiday weekend.

The festival has gained an international reputation for its eclectic line up, programming some of the best in UK traditional and contemporary folk as well as North American and Canadian artists and other world music.

But Shrewsbury is about so much more than the music. The festival, set on a glorious riverside site in easy reach of the historic town centre, is renowned for its friendly atmosphere.

There’s four open air and covered music stages, a dance tent for ceilidhs, workshops and shows, dedicated festivals-in-a-festival to keep the kids and teens busy with music, dance, crafts, silent discos, circus skills and more. There’s also workshops and activities for adults from yoga, crafts and countryside walks to singarounds and music sessions for the adults too. All included in the ticket price!

An artisan shopping arena, food village, real ale and cocktail bars with on-site camping and glamping top off the perfect festival experience.

Shrewsbury Folk Festival… you can’t imagine how much you will discover!
