POSTPONED: Our concert with The Holy Fools tonight has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control, we hope to reschedule it soon and apologise for any disappoinment!

Chris Wood (support Bailey & Keely). 7pm, Saturday 12th April, the Old Fire Station. Chris Wood's music reveals his love for the un-official history of the English speaking people. Bailey & Keely embrace the unknown and pull new musical possibilities from the weird and the wonky. Tickets onsale now!

7pm, Friday 11th April: Moonrakers & The Oakstone Trio, Old Fire Station. Moonrakers pride themselves in having brought traditional and contemporary folk music to new audiences. The Oakstone Trio pair new compositions with old tunes and solo ballads with harmony chorus songs. Tickets on sale now!

Sally Barker - Friends Meeting House, 7:00pm, Friday 11th April. Whether she is singing to seven million on the final of TV's 'The Voice' or to 7 people in a local folk club Sally is the consummate professional. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear her! Tickets: linktr.ee/oxfordfolkfest

National Youth Folk Ensemble - opening concert: Friends Meeting House, 1:30pm, Friday 11th April. NYFE brings together talented young folk musicians from across England. These exceptional 14-18 year olds meet four times a year for intensive weeks of music-making. Tickets: linktr.ee/oxfordfolkfest

And here it is! We’ll be welcoming these artists (and more to come!) to this year’s Oxford Folk Festival - tickets will be available on linktr.ee/oxfordfolkfest soon! #Oxford #OxfordFolkFest #FolkMusic #FolkInOxford #OxfordFolkFestival #Oxfordshire #OxfordGigs #FolkGigs #Ceilidh #OxfordFolkFest25

We’re at Morris capacity for Saturday, but there's still time to decide to join us on Sunday and dance! If your team is only available on the Saturday we have a waiting list in case teams can no longer make it - email us ASAP to be added to it. Photo by Matt Lenahan of Yateley Morris Men in 2024

The first part of this year’s line-up will be dropping next Saturday, along with the ticket links for our evening concerts and ceilidhs! Come and hear (and dance to) a range of wonderful musicians across all stages of their careers…

A nice surprise to be featured in the @oxfordmail 'Top Pictures' of the year with us at @oxfordfolkfest.bsky.social in #radcliffesquare #oxford #radcliffecamera #morrisdancing #dance #folkdance

Very sorry to have to announce that tonight's John Spiers & Jackie Oates gig at Wychwood Folk Club has had to be postponed because of a power cut at the venue as a result of the high winds. We are hoping to reschedule the concert next week or the week after. I'll post the new date as soon as I know.

And we're on bluesky! Follow for updates about our future events and next year's festival!
