Cambridge Folk Festival
About This Event
The Cambridge Folk Festival returns to Cherry Hinton Hall on Saturday 1 August 2026, presenting a diverse array of acts across its multiple stages. This free-to-attend event has earned a longstanding reputation for showcasing everything from traditional folk and roots music to contemporary singer-songwriters and global sounds. In previous years, tens of thousands of visitors have flocked to the parkland site, drawn by a programme that skilfully balances established headliners with emerging talent. The atmosphere is renowned for being relaxed and family-friendly, with food stalls, craft tents, and impromptu sessions adding to the festival’s distinctive character. Gates open at 11am, and the music continues well into the evening.
