kimpton folk festival

Saturday 6 July,2024

TICKETS NOW ON SALE!

Spend a magic day out in the glorious Hertfordshire countryside, with some of the finest folk musicians in the land.

Rather unusually for a folk festival, the site for our event is…
the entire village!

So stroll around and take it all in. On your way to concert venues at The Church and The Di King Stage, pause at the ‘busk-stops’ dotted around, pop into the village pub The Boot for a quick refresher or some barbecued tucker.

Attend a workshop in Kimpton’s chic Dacre Rooms, or head to the pretty village green for an afternoon’s free entertainment, some sumptuous artisan street food and a pint of locally brewed real ale from Farr Brew.

Just up the path you’ll find the Family Area on Garden Fields - with its incredible array of fun activities and entertainment for young and old: clay modelling, felting, junior morris dancing, have-a-go maypole dancing, faceprinting, storytelling, faceprinting and more!

You’ll find all the info you need in the free 24-page colour programme - or click to see who’s playing where.
