"...one of the county’s best weekends of music." - Oxford Mail
We're back!
After our year off in 2019 we are delighted to announce that Folk Weekend will be back in 2020 with all the usual fun and frolics! We're slightly shifting the way things are organised behind the scenes so please do bear with us if information is a bit later coming out than you'd usually expect. For all the details on the new look of Folk Weekend click here to read an email from Festival Director Cat McGill.

Join us?
One of the benefits of our new collaborative festival set up is that there is an opportunity for local and community groups or artists to be part of the festival by hiring a venue and hosting your own fringe events. Whether it’s a workshop, concert, or dance, if you want to put on an event during Folk Weekend then we’d love to have you! We are asking for a small contribution towards marketing, which will get you featured in the programme and on our website and social media channels, and then you will be able to use the Folk Weekend name and logo for your event. You will manage the event yourself (though we can offer advice and assistance if needed), and keep 100% of any ticket sales you make.

Keep in touch!
For all the latest news about the festival do sign up to our mailing list, or keep in touch via social media.
As always, if you’d like to volunteer to help out please do get in touch. Folk Weekend is a real community event, and it takes a huge team effort to pull it all together. Whether you want to help out on the volunteer committee, offer to distribute a few programmes or leaflets for us, or whether you’re a performer who’d be happy to give us half an hour on one of our showcase stages, we welcome any and all offers.
