Warwick Folk Festival is back NEXT WEEK! 🎉
We are officially on countdown mode and have 10 days until we are back in the field! 🙌
Did you know that today is St Swithins day? We have been monitoring it very closely as legend says that if it rains on St Swithins Day it will rain 🌧️ for 40 days after. And if it is sunny on St Swithins day it will be sunny ☀️ for 40 days after.
Well, it’s stereotypically British today with sun in the morning, clouds at lunch and heavy rain and thunderstorms this afternoon. So we have no clarity for what to expect at Warwick this year. 😂Traditionally British weather we expect. 🤞 for sunshine, but our venues are covered (and seated!) so if there is a downpour you will still have a fantastic weekend!

For only £20 per person you can arrive a whole day early (between 5-8pm on Wednesday 24th July)!

We are going to go out on a limb and guess there were a few sore heads the next morning! 😬 Are we right?

What is Sunday at Warwick Folk Festival without Keith Donnelly’s “I Can’t Believe It’s Not a Folk-Song-Contest”?!

After last-year’s amazing “Eurovision-themed Extravaganza” this year Keith presents more than a dozen festival guests bringing us - ‘Best-loved Childrens’ Songs & School Assembly Bangers!’

But, it’s always a sell-out, so make sure you get there early, grab a coffee or tea en route, and prepare for the best way to spend a Sunday morning! Oh yes! Fun will be had!
