Rothbury Traditional Music Festival

12/06/2026

HELP NEEDED! Do you have space in your home in Rothbury to host any of our visiting musicians?
After an administrative error, we are short of accommodation for our festival performers!
This polite and talented duo and their sound engineer Ewen (three people), need accommodating within Rothbury village on Saturday July 11th. Can you offer a bed for 1,2 or 3 people?
In return, we can offer you 2x festival T-shirts and 2 x ‘supporter tickets’ which give free entry to any event at the festival.
Alternatively if you have a holiday home or airbnb which is affordable and available for just one night, please let us know.
If you can help, please message our festival page or email the festival on [email protected] , including your name(s), address of the accommodation and how many beds you’re able to offer. A photo of the bedroom would be a welcome bonus!
Thanks in advance! The Rothbury Festival Committee.
