Sidmouth Folk Week is a unique week-long seaside celebration of music, dance and song taking place in this charming East Devon regency coastal resort - this year's festival will take place between the 2nd and 9th August 2013.

Sidmouth Festival was originally founded as a folk dance festival in 1955 by the English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS) and has since evolved to include ceilidh dancing, music and song, as well as related folk crafts.  Each year tens of thousands of visitors come to witness over 700 events over the week - anything from from major league concerts to small intimate sessions.
