Well that was exciting! Our festival sold out in 5 hours which has left me slightly speechless. There will still be plenty of free entertainment over the weekend, and there will be tickets on the door for our Saturday night standing gig and our family ceilidh.

7pm tonight! We sold well over half of our weekend passes in 90 mins at a box office event in Allendale yesterday. The rest go on sale tonight via Gigantic. We are expecting to sell out - don't hang about! www.gigantic.com/allen-valley...

Here's Fiona and some of the AVFF committee. She bought our 100th weekend pass for the 2025 festival and won a mug! The remaining weekend passes will go on sale, online, tomorrow morning at 7pm on Gigantic. Snooze and you lose! We are certain we will sell out very quickly.

First artist announcement for Allen Valleys Folk Festival music line-up this year!. We are opening a box office in Allendale on 22 March for weekend passes only. After that they'll go on sale online (Gigantic) and we will make a decision about individual session tickets.

Our good festival friend Saul Rose is doing a thing! This project sounds fabulous, the film clips promise much for a new album - absolutely lush arrangements and harmonies. Not much time left on this kickstarter... can you help? www.kickstarter.com/projects/win...

Throwback Thursday.... We loved having Suntou Susso at Allen Valleys Folk Festival this year. His music and song were absolute balm to the soul on a Sunday afternoon. Here he is, modelling our 2024 line-up t-shirt. #suntoususso #worldmusic #folkfestival #avff #allenvalleysfolkfestival #allendale

Throwback Thursday with Johnny Flynn! Johnny came to our festival this September & not only packed out our village hall but stayed with us in Allendale all weekend sharing the good times with his family. We loved having Johnny & Lillie sing for us, and hope to see them back in Allendale soon!

We have a brilliant (although I say so myself) folk festival in Allendale. I've created our Bluesky account but it's hard to find people in this sparsely populated world. Give us a follow if you enjoy a festival with plenty of music & the burning of wolf-like effigies @allenvalleysfolk.bsky.social

Tickets available from gigantic.com and outlets in Allendale. The last night of Frankie's tour. It will be brilliant.
