Event information

We're so excited to announce the Brighton & Hove Folk Festival, with headliner Chris Wood!

The inaugural event will take place across three stages at The Brunswick in Hove on September 11th 2021. It'll be a day of music from over 20 of the brightest folk talents in Britain right now. Mixing stalwarts of the scene like headliner Chris Wood and natural voice pioneer Frankie Armstrong with up and coming artists like Ellie Gowers and Jacko Hooper, as well as traditional songs with contemporary takes on the genre, the festival offers something for everyone and champions the inclusivity of the British folk scene. The festival also pays special attention to the thriving Sussex folk tradition, with leading lights like Bird in the Belly and Naomi Bedford & Paul Simmonds on the bill.

The main stage will see some of the UK's foremost folk artists, including headliner Chris Wood, perform with spellbinding live illustration by renowned illustrator and political cartoonist Chris Riddell. The Cellar Stage will present traditional and contemporary folk music, whilst the Showcase Stage will offer intimate and unplugged sets by some of the most engaging new voices across the scene. Wonderful music all round, with a special bar and food menu put on by the Brunswick.

Tickets for the first ever Brighton & Hove Folk Festival are extremely limited, so make sure to grab yours while you can!
