Southwell Folk Festival startd out life as a traditional English Folk music and dance festival, Now in 2014 the festival has since embraced other roots music forms whist still keeping its English and Celtic music roots alive.
Dance displays remain a popular part of the festival with the emphasis on variety and entertainment. Ceilidhs or other social folk dances take place each day with a late night silent folk disco an introduction this year.
Children’s activities are aimed to be educative and fun with our own instrument workshops, and various other hands on opportunities. Family entertainment always includes a liberal dose of Street Theatre and ‘walkabouts’ as well as storytellers and musicians.
