The best of folk & roots, in our favourite city.
Bristol Folk Festival is the beating heart of a thriving Folk Scene in the city & wider South West.

Each year we invite the queens, kings & bright young things of folk to Bristol & invite you to join them. Jump into a celebration of folk music in all its joyous musical forms.
