Welcome to Sidmouth Folk Festival – where tradition meets the moment, and the old ways still make waves. Since 1955, we’ve been championing folk music, dance, and song by the sea – a celebration that’s rooted in tradition, alive with energy, and full of heart.

It’s an immersive, participative week-long gathering of songs, stories, tunes, and shared culture – deeply rooted, ever-evolving, and open to everyone. Come be part of a living tradition that’s still growing, magical, and very much yours.
