Sidmouth Folk Festival 2026

The Sidmouth Folk Festival is a week-long seaside celebration of folk music, dance, song, and tradition, held annually since 1955 on the coast in East Devon. Big-name acts, ceilidhs, workshops, storytelling, spoken word, display dance, youth events and family-friendly programmes all combine to make this one of the UK’s major folk gatherings. It draws tens of thousands of visitors each August. Season tickets and 2026 tickets go on sale in December, with “2025 prices” for early purchasers. The event also includes a Festival Campsite, Craft & Music Village, food & drink stalls, and accessibility services.
