2021

There is light at the end of the tunnel.

FolkEast in August will go ahead.

It may be slimmer. There may be changes.

Our aim for 2021 is to make FolkEast a safe festival for all to enjoy.

Safe for everyone so that we can bring first class music, art and  curiosities back to a field in Suffolk.

The sun will shine!

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.
