Welcome to the home page of the Sedgefield Folk Festival.

From its modest beginning within a single venue in September 2006, the festival has gradually expanded to cater for the tastes and interests of travelling folk music enthusiasts and local residents alike. Much media interest has been directed at the world spoon playing championships which the festival is rightly proud to host again this year.

 The festival operates within the Ceddesfeld Community Association and a specific, dedicated committee work hard to organise a full programme of events that will bring visitors into this delightful medieval County Durham village.
Sedgefield Folk Festival always takes place on the first full weekend of September. 

 One of our main objectives, being a small Festival, is to ensure that all visitors have an event to attend, be it concert, singaround, music session, workshop or dance display. In recent years Vin Garbutt, Billy Mitchell, Bernard Wrigley, the late John Wright, the Doonan Family Band, Nancy Kerr & James Fagan and the Acoustic Strawbs have headlined the concert programmes.

This medieval village has a good range of pubs, shops and eating establishments to cater for the weekend visitor.

Please note: 

• There will be a limited amount of caravan and camping space available.
• There are no weekend tickets.
  Individual event tickets will be available from early June, payment by cheque.

Details and booking form can be found on the Contact page.
