Great to have Jackie Oates with us again during festival week. A central figure in English traditional music, Jackie is regarded as one of the country’s best loved folk performers. Keep up to date with line-up additions here: sidmouthfolkfestival.co.uk/2025lineup/

You can see lots of great folk at great festivals around the country but Sidmouth is THE festival to go to if you want to 'DO' Folk! It's not just the 250+ workshops covering song, dance and music but the magical, informal sessions that pop up all over the town during festival week.
