“The best ever Sidmouth Festival”
“Thursday – with the Nic Jones concert, Andy Cutting and friends and then the Spiers and Boden LNE Ceilidh – was my best day at a folk festival – ever!”
“A brilliant Sidmouth, which must rank as one of the best festivals I've ever been to, and will stay long in the memory.”
Just three of the comments so far received. It really was an amazing week.

If you’ve been to Sidmouth Festival before, you’ll know what it’s all about: singing, dancing, playing, pub sessions, learning something new, ice creams, your favourite bands, your NEW favourite bands, crab sarnies, storytelling, lying on the beach, fireworks, dancing the night away at Late Night Extra, and sitting up chatting on the campsite with your brand new best friends.
If you haven’t been before, you’ve got a treat in store: One of England’s very best folk festivals combined with a seaside holiday in a beautiful Regency town!
With over 600 events to choose from, Sidmouth FolkWeek is unique. Whether you want to dive into the full festival experience, or just give the weekend a try, or dip in and out of concerts, workshops or ceilidhs, Sidmouth is YOUR festival. Decide how you want to play it, and choose the ticket combination that gives you the festival you want. It’s that simple.
Jim Moray sums it up: ‘The important thing about Sidmouth, as someone who has attended most years of my life, is that it doesn’t belong to “them” in the way that other festivals do. It belongs to everyone to make their own thing out of.’
