Sidmouth Folk Fringe is held at the Thorn Park Golf Centre. Some 30 acres of parkland surrounded by beautiful countryside within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Beauty and centres around McBuzz's Barn, a handsome traditional oak-framed building extending into a large marquee. Although the event is still small it has gained in popularity in recent years with both artist's and audiences who enjoy the friendly atmosphere and laid-back 'local vibe'.
