 "What a totally amazing little find this was!  Music from around the world, in a field, great sound system, local beers/ciders, safe place for kids to make friends and explore, no trashy waste-of-money stalls, delicious food, kids tent with free stuff for them to do.  Amazing!"

"From 6 to 40-something year olds, everyone in our group had a wonderful time at this fantastic, quality, friendly festival.  Roll on next year"

Top Quality Music

In Rockhampton we punch above our weight.
​We had a great line up of folk and world music in 2018.  More...

Lovely Countryside Venue

It all happens in a small field by the church in our Gloucestershire village.  There are no commercial stalls; it's simply about great music, top-notch local food and drink and a relaxed friendly atmosphere.  
​And it's only 15 miles from Bristol.

Friendly Atmosphere

People tell us they love the atmosphere at our festival.  The field is compact and safe. You can keep an eye on your kids while relaxing and enjoying the music, local beer and good food.

Making a Difference

Making a difference to our community is important to us.  We support local and national charities and we bring the live music to schools and disadvantaged groups.​​

G'day Rockhampton

As our reputation grows we get approached by lots of musicians who want to play at our festival.  Some from as far away as Australia. Although they thought we're in that "other" Rockhampton !

G'day to our folk festival friends down under !
