Sidmouth Folk Festival

Held every August in the lovely seaside town of Sidmouth, Devon. The festival runs for a week, with events spread across the seafront, gardens, and various indoor venues.

A family festival, with a mix of traditional and contemporary folk music, lively dance displays, and colourful parades. You’ll find live music at the Ham Marquee, as well as smaller stages, ceilidhs, workshops, storytelling, and plenty of impromptu busking sessions along the promenade.

You have camping, plenty of food options, but for dog owners, there are restrictions at some of the venues.
