Built on the folk dance and music scene in Sheffield, this festival aims to showcase local and national talent, with concerts, ceilidhs (on Friday and Saturday), contra and European dances (Saturday), dance displays and folk clubs. There is also the opportunity to learn new skills through workshops, music sessions and singarounds.
Many artists will be performing at several times and venues over the weekend and all of these details will be published in the festival programme. This year's artists include Last Night's Fun, Spiers and Boden, and Steve Tilston. For further concert details, click here.

TICKETS: Day and evening tickets are also available, varying in price from £10 - £35 depending on the day / event.
