Cambridge Folk Festival

Cambridge Folk Festival takes place over four days in late July or early August each year. Now established for more than 50 years, it features a wide range of music of many genres from around the world. It's situated at Cherry Hinton Hall, a park to the south of the city centre, where weekend festival camping is available, though most festival-goers choose not to camp. Tickets for the full weekend or for single days are usually on sale from early December onwards - though the festival does regularly sell out. Access throughout the site is variable; there are some paths but much of the site is on grassed surfaces, so accessibility may be affected by weather conditions. The atmosphere is generally welcoming and the festival is attended by many families.
