Common Folk

Common Folk is a lively festival celebrating folk music, culture and community spirit in Leicester. Held at the welcoming 1852 Brewery Co in Wigston Magna, this friendly event brings together local musicians, dancers, storytellers and music lovers of all ages for a warm gathering. Visitors can enjoy a rich lineup of acoustic performances and traditional tunes, tap along with ceilidh dances, and join in communal sing-alongs under the festival lights.

Everyone is welcome at Common Folk, whether you are a lifelong enthusiast or simply curious. The atmosphere is refreshingly inclusive - strangers become friends over shared songs, and kids and parents alike can find something to celebrate. With live music spilling from the pub taproom into the beer garden and local craft beers and homemade treats on offer, the festival feels like a big community house party. Come sing, dance and celebrate - Common Folk promises a weekend of genuine warmth and joy!
