Tickets have now gone on sale for BFF2026. Check out the Fisher Theatre website and put 'Bungay Folk Festival ticketsource' into your browser to see all the tickets. Most shows in the Fisher Theatre are free but you will need to have a ticket. Online you pay a £1.50 booking fee but contact the ticket office direct to avoid this. Remember most of the festival is free to access but early purchase of the evening gig tickets is recommended as we have limited places and they will sell out.
Workshops are nearly ready to be published but need a little more input.
Joe Toll from SAE Events Ltd is our partner on sound this year. He will be providing sound in St Mary's Church, The Fisher Theatre and The Folk Picnic. We have our amazing sound crew of Dave, Tom and Simon(s) (two of them!) working elsewhere around the town over the weekend.
