Welcome to the Holmfirth Festival of Folk

Holmfirth Festival of Folk sprang from the ashes of Holmfirth Folk Festival in 2005 and has grown into an extremely popular community based festival drawing in a large local audience in addition to the usual 'folkies'. The events take place in the local pubs and on the streets and the vast majority are free. Because of this, we don’t have a lot of money to spend on big names but be assured you will get quality. So if that is the kind of festival you like, we would love to see you between May 11th and 13th 2012.

 

Campsite Update

Unfortunately due to the waterlogged conditions at the temporary campsite at Sands Recreation Ground there are no more spaces available for caravans. Very sorry.
