Festivals

There are 3 major Folk Festivals in Wiltshire and many more which occasionally have folk content:

  • Chippenham Folk Festival
  • The Trowbridge Village Pump Festival
  • The Larmer Tree.

All these have a slightly different approach to Folk and cover the broadest spectrum of music from traditional to contemporary and Rock.

Chippenham Folk Festival.

The traditional one. 35 years on and still being run by a group of dedicated volunteers. It has a really nice town centre site with over 200+ events in one weekend !

This date for next year is 25th - 28th May 2007.
