The Shrewsbury Folk Festival is a four day celebration of the tradition and culture of folk music and dance. The format is designed to involve and invite family members of all ages and it gives festival goers the chance to enjoy new music from artists from around the UK and the wider world at the end of August 2016.

As far as the music is concerned, Shrewsbury Folk Festival 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.

An exciting family holiday, a place to make new friends and meet up with old friends, an inclusive friendly atmosphere whether you are an experienced folkie or a complete newcomer, whether you come with friends or on your own.
