Now established for almost 50 years, Chippenham Folk Festival is recognised nationwide for showcasing the very best English traditional folk music.

The festival has a huge following both locally and across the UK, with many visitors coming back year after year to enjoy what has become one of the country’s most beloved folk music gatherings.

There are more than 200 events over the course of the weekend, spread across a variety of easily accessible venues within Chippenham.

From Friday to Sunday you’ll enjoy a myriad of events encompassing concerts, social dances, ceilidhs and more. In addition there’s a street fair in Chippenham High Street, bringing a range of exciting items including arts, crafts, jewellery, clothing, and of course a wide variety of organic food.

A full programme of events is due to be announced during the build up to the festival.
