Shrewsbury Folk Festival: Full list of acts and set times
Festival fever continues in Shropshire with the Shrewsbury Folk Festival taking place this bank holiday weekend.
Shrewsbury Folk Festival is running at the West Mid Showground from today until August 28, and organisers will once again be making a donation for every adult weekend ticket sold and collecting cash for Hope House Children’s Hospices.
The weekend event has been described as an exciting family holiday, a place to make new friends and meet up with old friends, an inclusive friendly atmosphere whether you are an experienced folkie or a complete newcomer, whether you come with friends or on your own.
There are four stages for performing acts, with a range of artists and groups performing throughout the days.
The folk festival is widely regarded as one of UK’s leading events of its type and attracts more than 7,000 people annually for four days of music, dance and family fun. This year’s headliners include Billy Bragg, Eddi Reader, Moya Brennan (Clannad) and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers as well as a whole host of other folk, Americana and world musicians.
