New Forest Folk Festival

About

The New Forest Folk Festival is now in its' eighth year and has been growing steadily - it is often referred to as "the small and friendly folk festival with the big line-up".

With camping available, the idyllic farm location on the edge of the New Forest is for many, more a holiday break with music, than purely a music festival. You can even bring dogs.

It is a time to catch up with friends over a pint of real ale or a glass of Somerset cider along with delicious homemade food. Many of the artists now stay over for a few days to chat and network with their musician mates in a relaxed atmosphere. It has become a genuine gathering of the UK folk clan!

With its' single stage at the bottom of a gentle slope the public can relax in their comfy chairs or get up close and enjoy a dance when inspired. A leisurely wander around the trade stalls or a visit to the bar is always rewarding.

Some guests like to sit and chill, while others get involved with the very popular free workshops and sing-arounds at the Woodland Fringe. There is a great range to choose from: such as slide guitar with PJ Wright, fiddle playing with Tom Leary, song writing with Reg Meuross, ukulele for beginners, poetry, Morris-dancing to name but a few.

Great line-up – great fun – great value.
