Priddy Folk Festival 2026

This year's Priddy Folk Festival will take place on 10th to 12^th July and we are looking forward to a fabulous weekend jam-packed with music and dance. Headliners include Dervish, Dallahan, Melrose Quartet, Kasai Masai, Michael McGoldrick & Tim Edey, the Henry Girls and Malin Lewis. With over thirty bands on the seven stages around the village, full details and tickets can be found at priddyfolk.org.

As well as the ticketed programme, there are lots of free events over the weekend. This includes the Dance Festival with Border and Cotswold Morris, Cornish and clog sides as well as the ever-popular Fringe which showcases up and coming talent from Somerset and beyond. The Children's Festival will entertain younger (accompanied) visitors with crafts, singing, story-telling and performance. Other events include poetry, archaeology and wildlife walks, ceilidhs, and workshops.

We also have a procession led by The Lost Giants from Cornwall. Working with Priddy & St Lawrence School, they have created Priddy's very own 'giant' which will lead the walk through the festival site from 12.45 on Sunday accompanied by music, stories and song. Come and join the throng (all welcome): also see our website for details of workshops on Saturday to make things to wave and on Sunday morning to help dress the giant 'herself'!

Run entirely by volunteers, this not-for-profit festival raises money for local community activities such as music tuition in our village primary school – so come along, whether for the whole weekend or just for an ice-cream, enjoy the music and the friendly vibe and you will be helping us keep Priddy special!
