LOOKING FORWARD TO 2021...
SAVE THE DATE

​​Saturday 19 June 2021

 "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
"
 

Looking forward to 2021 !

We're sad that we haven't been able to enjoying a great day of world music and dance.together with you in 2020.

We had hoped to run a scaled-down festival in September but with no certainty about the restrictions that will be in place we’ve decided instead to put our efforts into next year and making 2021 the best Rockhampton Folk Festival yet.  

So save the date...  Saturday 19 June 2021

We're working to make sure that the great artists we had lined-up for today will be able to join us next year's - find out about them here.  

We want to do everything we can to support musicians at this time. We'll re-start our outreach work soon and bring music back to our community. Big thanks to the Arts Council who have extended our lottery funding into next year.

Looking ahead we’re also planning to expand our popular Winter Series of concerts in Rockhampton, starting in January 2021 - watch this space.

And don't forget to fill in the contact form further down this page so we can let you know when tickets are on sale.

In the meantime take a look at our gallery for some happy memories and to remind you what's to come next year.

Take care, enjoy the summer and here's to a great 2021!

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.

What's in a name?

The eagle-eyed among you will have spotted that we've added "World Music" to our festival name. We think that better describes what our festival is about. We're proud of the our local folk music tradition but World Music has always been a big part of the festival. In fact it all started back n 2014 with the visit of a real  live Bavarian oompah band.

​In 2020 we've some great music from across the world - Indian music meets Congolese drumming. Fab!
