Welcome to the Rockhampton Folk Festival
Friendly atmosphere, lovely countryside venue and top-quality music - this is what people love about the Rockhampton Folk Festival.
In 2017 our festival was the biggest and best ever. We were delighted that our festival was recognised by Arts Council England. With their support we had a fantastic line up of top-quality artists including a BBC Young Folk Musician award winner.
It’s really important to us that our festival contributes to the community. Over 1000 children experienced live music in their school in the days leading to the festival thanks to the Rockhampton Folk Festival outreach programme.
We're already planning for 2018. So watch this space, sign up below for updates and see you on 16th June 2018 !

Reviews of 2017
"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! Will be back next year!"
"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 - looking forward to more foot-tapping, happily-clapping, dancing like a loon fun"

Top-Quality Music and Entertainment
We might be a small festival but we punch above our weight ! Our 2017 line-up included a recent winner of the BBC Young Folk Musician award, traditional gypsy swing and the exotic sounds of the Middle East and Caribbean.

Lovely countryside venue
The festival is in a small field by the church in our Gloucestershire village. There are no commercial stalls; our festival is just about great music and a relaxed friendly local atmosphere. And it's only 15 miles from Bristol.

Outreach - enriching our community
In the days leading up to the festival we bring music to disadvantaged groups who would otherwise find it hard to experience live performance. Thanks to support from Arts Council England nearly 1000 people will be touched by our outreach work in 2017.
