Shrewsbury Folk Festival

23 Aug–26 Aug 2013 West Midlands Showground, Shropshire

Happening now!

Shrewsbury Folk Festival takes place in 2013 at its home of The West Midlands Showground in Shrewsbury and has a reputation for delivering the very finest acts from the UK and around the world, always searching to find new authentic artists as well as providing a platform for established performers, and never forgetting to add some fun and diversity to our concerts.

A fantastic campsite where you are never more than a few moments from a venue and where you can save places for friends and have your vehicles next to your tent or caravan.

Shrewsbury Folk fest has loads of events and entertainment for children and young people, workshops for everyone and brilliant sessions both organised and impromptu. Providing free buses into town, an excellent on-site shop, a craft fair, a huge free car park, dance displays, open mic, and friendly, helpful stewarding teams.
