Manchester Folk Festival will take place from Wednesday 10th – Saturday 13th March 2027. Join us for our third year in Manchester’s vibrant Northern Quarter.
Manchester Folk Festival is an urban multi-venue festival which brings together a diverse range of artists who represent the broad definition of contemporary folk music.
Discover the best contemporary and traditional folk, roots and acoustic music across a variety of Manchester’s iconic music venues. From intimate spaces to festival stages, there’s something for everyone.
The festival is a rolling programme where festival wristband holders will be able to dip in and out of these legendary music venues for 3 days of the very best in English Folk and Acoustic music (subject to capacity). All of the venues are within a short walk of each other, making it easy to move between concerts, catch up with friends, and just hang around taking in the atmosphere.
All of our new venues are fully accessible, for specific information for each venue please visit our website at https://manchesterfolk.com/festival-info/venues/
Information on how to collect your festival wristband will be available closer to the event and will be sent by email.
