Fishguard Folk Festival

Every year, the joyous Fishguard Folk Festival descends over the late May bank holiday weekend. All of the concerts, sessions, workshops, walks, and more are mostly free, with only a few headline events requiring tickets! Therefore, the Fishguard Folk Festival invites one and all to come out for an unforgettable time filled with fun activities that will stay within your budget.

For more than two decades, the port village of Fishguard has been home to one of Britain's premier small traditional music festivals. The town will be abuzz with vibrant displays of dancing and tunes that feature airs, jigs, and reels! To continue this tradition in 2023, the Fishguard Folk Festival is scheduled for Friday 26th, to Monday, the 29th of May. Mark your calendars now for a weekend you won't forget!

The fantastic 'Pirates and Smugglers' walk promises to be a highlight of the festival, where old and young come together in an interactive session. Additionally, visitors have access to instrument workshops as well as voice lessons. Meet-the-artist events are plentiful, with opportunities for busking, informal music, and song sessions—all culminating in a grand finale featuring the renowned Mummers' Play reenacting Britain's last invasion. This is your chance to not only spectate but participate too! Get ready for lots of fun activities that you can enjoy at this remarkable event!
