The 68th Sidmouth Folk Festival will see a return to its stunning beach-side festival location. You'll be able to hear musicians along the seafront, streets, and venues as holidaymakers and festival goers join together in the friendliest music-based holiday of the summer.

The week-long celebration of folk music, dance, and song has become a major cultural institution for the area, held every year in the first week of August since 1955, attracting tens of thousands of visitors. You can expect to see performances from some of the top folk musicians in the UK and experience a welcoming, communal atmosphere.

The festival offers a diverse line-up of events for all, from full season ticket holders to day visitors. Expect major headline shows, small intimate events, dancing, singing, playing, and plenty of participatory fun.
