The Moira Furnace Folk Festival
17 August - 19 August 2018
Moira Furnace Museum And Monument Site, Unit 2, Furnace La Moira, Swadlincote, DE126AT
The Moira Furnace Folk Festival at the heart of the National Forest takes place at Moira Furnace located on the Leicestershire / Derbyshire border, one of the most picturesque settings in the industrial midlands.
The Festival features some well known and talented main acts, plus local and national, up and coming artists. A programme of workshops has been arranged and will be detailed in the Festival programme, which will be available in advance of the Festival
Most events take place on the green site of Moira Furnace, with a Ceilidh on Saturday Night at the Miners Welfare, just a few hundred metres from the main site. Singarounds and sessions also take place at local pubs, some 10 minutes walk from the Festival main site.
There are concerts all weekend in two marquees, each with a raised stage and PA system, as well as singarounds in the Loft of the Furnace building.
