"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've a great line up of folk and world music planned for this year.  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.

Outreach

Making a difference to our local community is what the Rockhampton Folk Festival is about.  We bring music to children and disadvantaged groups who would otherwise rarely engage with the arts and live performance.​​

Say hello to our 2018 Scarecrows !

Our happy band of 2018 scarecrows are out and about in the summery sunshine.  Give them a wave !

Here are Wina and Finn enjoying the cream teas at Hill on the lovely sunny Bank Holiday weekend.

​Do you live in Charfield, Wickwar or Cromhall ?

Sadly our scarecrows were kidnapped last year by the council so we're looking for some safe prominent places on private land for them to live in the weeks leading up to the festival.   If you'd like to host a scarecrow and bring a smile to passers-by then we'd love to hear from you.  Contact us.

Thanks Severn Vale Arts Trail

Thank you to the nice chaps looking after the Arts Trail exhibits at The Pound in Thornbury for taking care of our happy scarecrow.  Get along and see them all until 13 May

Summer is coming....​

These jolly Rockhampton Folk Festival fans should have got their Early Bird tickets before it was too late!

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 !
