Sidmouth Folk Festival takes place on 4 – 11 August 2023 and is sure to be a celebration to remember. Running over the course of a week, this annual event in East Devon is a popular choice for all the family. We recommend a visit during your stay at Forest Glade – the festival is under 20 miles from our devon holiday park. A great opportunity to feel part of the community in a delightful seaside setting.

Live music and entertainment
Seth Lakeman, Show of Hands, Barbara Dixon and Fisherman’s Friends are just some of the live acts appearing this year. There’s plenty to see and do, all day every day, although the first weekend is always busy. Look out for dancers, buskers or join in – ceilidhs and workshops run all week.
Craft fair
Located near the town centre if you are looking for some retail therapy this is the place to be. There are a variety of stalls and you’ll also find food and drink vendors dotted around the town. Don’t forget to support Sidmouth’s excellent independent shops while you are there. The local pubs are a great place to hear live music too and many have a wide selection of beers and ciders available too.
