The Wimborne Folk Festival takes place in the stunning town of Wimborne in Dorset. Over the three day weekend you will be entertained by some of the finest English and Celtic music and dance on offer. With music, dancing displays, market stalls, kids entertainment and more there is something for everyone. Camping is available for weekend ticket holders and is only an eight minute walk from the town where all takes place.

Although there have been no acts announced so far, as the organisers are busy putting together another amazing weekend of artists and events, you can be sure it will be a fun time for all the family when the next one takes place in 2018!
