 "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" 

We had a fab day

It was a great 2019 Rockhampton Folk Festival. Have a look at our gallery.

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, 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 friendly relaxed 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

We bring live music to schools and disadvantaged groups ahead of the festival and support local and national charities.​​
