"A Wonderful Day!"
"It is fabulous if you enjoy live music in a relaxed atmosphere... a wide range of groups performing. Good food and drink. Family friendly. And it’s soooo easy to get to! "
"A total win for localism"
"What a totally amazing little find this was! Music from around the world, in a field, great sound system, local beers, safe place for kids to make friends and explore, no trashy waste-of-money stalls, delicious food."

Top-notch music, relaxed family friendly atmosphere and local food and drink – that’s what people tell us they love about the Rockhampton Folk Festival. Come and join the fun.
We had a fab Line Up in 2024 - traditional folk from Tarren and Pete Morton, joyous African songs from the Ganda Boys and the wonderful Tango Calor plus the Lochrian Ceilidh to finish the evening. There was kids' activities and free workshops with the musicians for all ages too.
We're already working on the 2025 line up - watch this space!

Lovely Countryside VenueIt 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 AtmospherePeople 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. |
