Hailed as arguably the UK’s leading urban folk festival by critics, this much-loved multi-venue event offers a welcoming city-centred alternative to the traditional rural greenfield gatherings – all of the same character and charm, congregating in the city and offering a recluse from the hustle and bustle of the world around.
Discover the best contemporary and traditional folk, roots and acoustic music across a variety of Manchester’s iconic music venues, including the legendary Band On The Wall, Halle St Peters and Night and Day and The Castle Hotel – from intimate spaces to festival stages, there’s something for everyone.
As always, you can tailor the festival to your own tastes – individual tickets are available for all gigs, or, if you want to see as much fantastic music across the three days as you can, you can purchase a festival wristband below.
There are also free events alongside our regular programme – join a session at The Smithfield Market Tavern, enjoy live music on the Band on the Wall Bar Stage or dance along with local Morris sides at Cutting Room Square.
