✨ Thank You!!! ✨

What a weekend! The festival has now drawn to a close and we want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came, performed, volunteered, and supported us. The vibe this year was amazing – even with Friday night and Sunday’s heavy showers – and it was wonderful to see Bromyard buzzing with music, dance and friendship.

Special thanks go from the Directors to the Festival Committee, crew, stewards, artists, partners, and the whole Bromyard community who make this possible every year. From site set-up to workshops, from the bar to the box office, from Morris dancing to medical support – it takes a whole village (and more!) to bring the festival alive.

We are so grateful for your energy, passion, and commitment. Here’s to next year – come and join The Best of Folk! 💚

✈️❌ Unfortunately, due to adverse weather conditions grounding all flights, Joshua Burnside will no longer be able to join us for the Sunday Evening concert. We know many of you were looking forward to his set, and we’re very sorry for the disappointment — but we’re confident we’ll welcome him back to Bromyard Folk Festival in the future.

✨ The good news is that the brilliant Enda Kenny will step in, performing alongside Donnelly & South, Kerr, Fagan, Van Eyken, and Breabach. It promises to be a truly memorable evening of music! 🎶
