Leigh Folk Festival Leigh Folk Festival

Leigh Folk Festival Header

Taking place across a swathe of indoor and outdoor venues in public spaces around Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, Leigh Folk Festival is now unchallenged as the largest free folk festival in the country.

Rather than drifting towards becoming another commercially driven, ticketed event, the team of volunteer organisers has doggedly held fast to the original grass roots, access-for-all ethos, and so the festival has retained its unique, eclectic and idiosyncratic atmosphere.

Music has the power to make us all feel part of something bigger than ourselves, while nurturing a true sense of community and local pride. The pastoral, village fete atmosphere of the Library Gardens and the bustling, waterfront location of Old Leigh are both fundamental to the spirit of the weekend, and offer a natural, unpretentious welcome to visitors in their thousands
