As far as the music is concerned, Shrewsbury Folk Festival has a reputation for delivering the very finest acts from the UK and around the world, always searching to find new authentic artists as well as providing a platform for established performers and never forgetting to add some fun and diversity to their concerts.
They try to bring quality in-depth, and when you have so many talents on-site, we get unique situations; artists bring their fellow performers on stage to share their songs and music. When you arrive, all of your needs are catered for; a fantastic campsite where you are never more than a few moments from a venue, where you can save places for friends and have your vehicles next to your tent or caravan.
The best set on-site caterers on the folk (or any other) scene, great bars, proper flushing toilets, and even more showers this year. On-site WiFi coverage free of charge, loads of events and entertainment for children and young people.
