We did it!

A huge thank you to everyone who made this year happen, from our wonderful crew to all the volunteers who kept the show on the road during this unprecedented time, it was quite the achievement and we can’t thank you enough. But also a huge thank you to all of YOU that came out, and trusted us to bring you a slightly edited version of FolkEast, your support means everything to us, and we’re so grateful for it.

Next year is our 10th.. yes TENTH…  anniversary, and we have some special plans afoot. Our early bird tickets for 2022 go on sale soon so keep an eye on those inboxes, social channels and our website for more details.

FolkEast received unprecedented support  throughout 2020. Thanks to the generosity of the FolkEast 2021 and Beyond  Crowdfunders, East Suffolk County Council and the DCMS Culture Recovery Fund we have been able to continue our work. Virtually Folkeast was our way of exploring how to create a Covid secure event and the experience is helping us to develop the festival for this year.
