Folk Weekend is a community festival that was started totally from scratch in 2012. Every single member of the organising committee is a volunteer, and we're working hard all year round to make sure we can keep bringing you the very best festival we possibly can. Ongoing support from our Friends is incredibly valuable to us in our fundraising efforts, and for that reason we give a 10% discount on any Friends package if you sign up to an annual subscription!
In the meantine we've put together some great packages for our Friends (well, we think they are anyway!); each package is valid for one year and you will of course get benefits in the shape of exciting goodies as well as the guaranteed warm fuzzy glow of satisfaction and pride in supporting Folk Weekend: Oxford, its principles and aims: your very own community festival.
