Hull Folk Festival

Hull Folk and Maritime Festival a festival of music for the people, by the people.  It is a two day event at Hull Marina, Victoria Pier, Humber Street and the Old Fruit Market areas. 

Every corner you turn you will see and hear the sounds of folk music, pop your clogs on and join in with traditional folk dancing, swing around the Maypole and try instrument making and songwriting. 

There will be an array of live folk sessions in the pubs, a main stage, a busker trail, an open mic warehouse for Hull's up and coming talent and ticketed events on the evenings, across both days.

Listen to folk tales by our traditional story teller in Jackanory Corner, visit the Folk Den and join in with the folk crafts for the whole family.

Learn about Hull's heritage and folk culture dating back to the 70's at Folk Union One, and watch how the Waterson's success unfolded over the decades.

Take a food trip around the world and sup up at our real ale warehouse.

There's more, but for now, we'll leave it there.
