And just like that summer’s done… meteorologically I guess.. the weather still seems ok!

But if you’re feeling like a look back on what was a wonderful FolkEast check out The Folk Club’s 5 year anniversary show which just so happens to be a ‘FolkEast Special’

It’s NEARLY September and the festival year is almost behind us.. but never fear as we’re returning with the eighth, yes EIGHTH, season of the Blaxhall Sessions..

Kicking off with @tarrenmusic on September 19th

Visit the website for all festival and Blaxhall sessions tickets

We’re all packed up.. time for a rest!

We will be sending out the feedback survey tomorrow (we’ll post it here too!) as well as sharing many more memories throughout the next few weeks.. plus maybe a bit of news 😉

But for now.. it’s bedtime!

Thanks you again to everyone that came and joined us.

We’re doing it again! After a rollercoaster of a year.. we sold out of Super Early Bird tickets on site so we have decided to bring our early birds forward so people can still catch the worm!

Thank you to everyone that continues to support this event. folkeast.co.uk/tickets-4/

With the site pack down well underway we wanted to shine a light on our crew, volunteers and suppliers that worked tirelessly to help bring the new site to life… let’s just say this was not an easy task.. so to all the people that make this happen.. we really can’t thank you enough.

Thankyou, @folkeast.bsky.social , you're the best!
Just what we all needed to keep us all going.
A load of excellent music, dance and folk arts all in one field all weekend.

It’s all looking a bit more like EastFolk

What about Sunday then!

Some Saturday highlights for ya! Be sure to check out the Les Cousins special anniversary takeover in the barn..

Some Friday highlights for ya

Due to the new site the overall layout will be quite different! The answer is yes but there is a bit more distance between them.. they’re all accessible but the lay of the land is very very different to Glemham (it’s spectacular) a lot more trees..

Things are a happening down Eastfolk..

One week to go and some old glemham hall pals are showing up to lend a hand! Loads and loads still to do.. new site means loads of decisions! 😬.. but we can’t wait to welcome y’all next week! #folkeast

ohh! nice idea for 2026!

This August we are delighted to be previewing - Earth: The Silent Planet with music and words by Delia Stevens & Will Pound and award winning author, Robert Macfarlane. Celebrating our beautiful planet, this unique collaboration promises a wonderful fusion of music and language.
